The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Tuesday said that B.1.617 ? the COVID-19 variant, which is suspected to be contributing to the exponential surge in COVID-19 cases in India ? has been found in more than a dozen countries.
WHO informed that, as of Tuesday, B.1.617 has been detected in over 1,200 sequences uploaded to the GISAID open-access database from at least 17 countries. GISAID is a global science initiative and primary source established in 2008 that provides open-access to genomic data of influenza viruses and the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though WHO has listed B.1.617, which counts several sub-lineages with slightly different mutations and characteristics, as ?variant of interest, it has not declared in as ?variant of concern.
The WHO, however, has now acknowledged that its preliminary modelling based on sequences submitted to GISAID indicates that ?B.1.617 has a higher growth rate than other circulating variants in India, suggesting potential increased transmissibility. WHO also said that other variants circulating at the same time were also showing increased transmissibility and that the combination of these variants may be playing a role in the current resurgence in India.
