Singapore rejected a claim made by New Delhi’s chief minister that a new variant of Covid-19 was discovered in the city-state, saying it was actually the Indian strain hitting the Southeast Asian nation.
Arvind Kejriwal tweeted on Tuesday that the so-called “new Singapore variant” is “very harmful to children” and called on the federal government to immediately halt flights with the tiny island nation in order to avoid a third wave of infections.
