WHO considers naming new coronavirus strains with constellations
New coronavirus strains could be named after constellations once the Greek alphaBet is used up, a World Health Organization boss has suggested. The agency started naming new mutations after letters of the Greek alphaBet back in May. So far, 11 variants have been named - including the Delta, Beta and Alpha strains. Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO's COVID-19 technical lead, said the WHO is looking at new names in case they go through all 24 letters of the Greek alphaBet. At the moment, constellations are being considered.
