The WHO epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove said of adopting new variant names: No country should be stigmatised for detecting and reporting variants. As the list above suggests, it is common, if not always official practice, to refer to viruses by the name of the place where they were first identified. The organization has also categorized six strains as variants of interest. Currently, there are no plans on how to label the variants after the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet are used up. The WHO said: While they have their advantages, these scientific names can be difficult to say and recall and are prone to misreporting ... As a result, people often resort to calling variants by the places where they are detected, which is stigmatising and discriminatory.
