Coronavirus variants given Greek names

When researchers in South Africa spotted a highly mutated strain of coronavirus in late 2020, they called it 501Y.V2. Other naming schemes have called the same variant B.1.351, 20H/501Y.V2 and GH/501Y.V2. Media outlets often describe it as ‘the South African variant’. To cut the confusion and avoid geographical stigmas, everyone should now call it ‘Beta’, according to a naming scheme announced by the World Health Organization. The names, taken from the Greek alphabet, are not intended to replace scientific labels, but could serve as a useful shorthand for policymakers, the public and other non-experts. “If people use it, it will become the default,” says virologist Jeremy Kamil.

в общем, дело за пустяком
