The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology states that the World Health Organization (WHO) refers to this variant of Covid-19 as B.1.617, and any reference to this variant of the virus as “Indian” is false.
As is well known, a number of Covid-19 variants are geographically used to identify the public, including the British and Brazilian names.
“We have become aware that false statements are being made online that the ‘Indian variant’ of the coronavirus is spreading in the countries. It is completely MELI,” a letter quoted by the ministry was quoted in the local media. The statement also states that the WHO did not link the term “Indian variant” to coronavirus variant B.1.617 in any of its reports.
