The World Health Organization (WHO) has described the Indian type of corona as a 'worrying type'. Maria Van Kerkhov, the organization’s head of COVID-19, told reporters in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.

In October last year, the B1.617 type of corona was first identified in India. This type of corona is highly contagious. It can spread quickly from one person to another. This is the main reason why the Corona situation in India has taken a terrible turn. The whole of India has been devastated by the second wave of infection.

Maria Van Kerkhov said there was "considerable evidence" of rapid transmission of the corona type identified in India. Although it was not previously thought that this type of corona infection could spread so much. In this situation, this type of Indian variant has been identified as a 'worrying type' all over the world.
