The double-mutant or the B.1.617 coronavirus variant that has emerged in India is now classified as the âvariant of concernâ by the World Health Organization.

India Struggles to Keep Pace With Coronavirus Variants

India Struggles to Keep Pace With Coronavirus Variants © T. Narayan/Bloomberg News India’s laboratories are struggling to keep up with a punishing Covid-19 surge, as its scientists try to track and understand new coronavirus mutations. On Monday, the World Health Organization classified a variant first identified in India, known as B.1.617, as a “variant of concern,” saying preliminary studies suggested it may be more contagious than other variants. The WHO’s scientists didn’t report any evidence that vaccines aren’t effective against the new variant. India is in the process of ramping up its capacity to do genomic sequencing to track changes in the virus’s genetic makeup by examining positive test samples. Yet the effort in India, which is dealing with the world’s worst current Covid-19 outbreak, is a fraction of the scale of the genomic sequencing being done in the U.K.
