Earlier this week, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it considers B.1.617 to have three subtypes with slightly different morphological characteristics.

Therefore, the Indian variant was added to the list of the other three variants of the covid-19 - such variants were first found in Britain, Brazil and South Africa.

The UN says these variants are seen as more dangerous than the original version of the virus, as they can quickly infect or infect some vaccines.

The World Health Organization (WHO) explained that B1,617 was added to the list because it appears to be more easily transmitted than the original virus, citing "widespread increases in more than one country."
