"I urge Honourable PM to stop flights from those countries which are affected by new variant. With great difficulty, our country has recovered from Corona. We should do everything possible to prevent this new variant from entering India," 
Yesterday Mr Kejriwal tweeted to say he had called for a meeting of medical and scientific experts on Monday in light of "the threat from new Covid variants from African countries".
These experts, he said, would make a presentation to the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), he said, to suggest steps to protect the national capital from the B.1.1.529 strain.
The Prime Minister is chairing a meeting with top officials this morning to review the Covid situation.
The centre, last night, said scheduled international passenger flights to and from India would be allowed to return to pre-Covid frequencies from December 15.

Scientists in South Africa have discovered a new Covid-19 variant, news agency AFP has reported. 
The news agency quoted scientists as saying that the new variant has multiple mutations. 
The announcement has come on the back of recent rise in Covid-19 cases in South Africa. 
The new variant was first flagged on November 23 on social media by Dr. Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London. Dr Peacock noted that the 'incredibly high amount of spike mutations suggest that the new variant could be of real concern'. 
Named B.1.1.529, the variant was first spotted in Botswana and the other circulating countries are Hong Kong and South Africa. According to The Guardian, only 10 cases have been confirmed by genomic sequencing.

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Theta&hellip; does all that sound Greek to you?
That&rsquo;s because it is Greek.
The WHO has decided to name the various variants of the novel coronavirus after Greek alphabets to make public discourse on the disease easier and avoid their association with a specific country.
Here&rsquo;s your guide to the different Covid variants.

There is finally some good news on the Covid front. Scientists at the University of North Carolina have claimed to have developed a hybrid vaccine which is expected to prevent infections from future coronavirus variants.
Being dubbed a "super vaccine", scientists say that it protected mice not just against Covid-19 during tests, but also against other coronaviruses while triggering the immune system to fight off a dangerous variant.
Scientists say that they designed the vaccine to provide protection against the current SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and a group of coronaviruses that have the potential to transmit from animals to humans.
Additional testing could also lead to human trials next year.
The findings of the study have been published in the journal 'Science'.

New coronavirus variant B.1.1.28.2 detected in India

A new variant of coronavirus B.1.1.28.2 has been detected in India through genome sequencing conducted by the National Institute of Virology, Pune. The variant was isolated from nasal and throat swabs from international travellers from Brazil and the UK.
The new variant induced body weight loss, caused viral replication in the respiratory track, lung lesions, and severe lung pathology in infected Syrian hamsters during the study in comparison to D614G variant (B.1), reports said.
The test was conducted for about seven days on nine Syrian hamsters. Experts say that the new variant is similar to the Delta variant and could be more dangerous than the Alpha variant.

'Delta Variant': WHO announces news label for Covid strain first found in India

All authorised Covid-19 vaccines are effective against the variants of novel coronavirus known so far, including the one which fuelled the second wave of the pandemic in India, the Europe Director of the World Health Organization said on Thursday.
&lsquo;All COVID-19 virus variants that have emerged so far do respond to the available, approved vaccines,&rsquo; Dr Hans Kluge said, adding that all COVID-19 variants can be controlled with the same public health and social measures used until now.&nbsp;Doctor Kluge, however, cautioned that progress against the coronavirus pandemic remains &ldquo;fragile&rdquo; and international travel should be avoided.
&lsquo;Rethink or avoid international travel right now in the face of a continued threat and new uncertainty&rsquo;, Kluge said and urged people to continue to exercise caution.

The government on Wednesday slammed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal as Singapore protested against his remarks on Covid variant. Reacting to Singapore govt summoning Indian envoy, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar curtly stated that the "Delhi CM doesn't speak for India". "Singapore and India have been solid partners in the fight against Covid-19. Appreciate Singapore's role as a logistics hub and oxygen supplier. Their gesture of deploying military aircraft to help us speaks of our exceptional relationship. However, irresponsible comments from those who should know better can damage long-standing partnerships. So, let me clarify - Delhi CM does not speak for India," the Foreign Minister tweeted.The govt also said that the high commissioner clarified to the Singapore govt that "Delhi CM had no competence to pronounce on Covid variants or civil aviation policy".Kejriwal triggered a row after he urged the central govt on Tuesday to "cancel air services" with Singapore on account of what he called "a new form of corona that came to Singapore" and was extremely dangerous for children.
