Arvind Kejriwal had recently tweeted regarding the new “Singapore variant” of Covid-19 claiming it is extremely dangerous for children. He had requested the centre to stop flights from Singapore. He also made a request regarding vaccination for children. In response to this and many other media queries, health ministry of Singapore issued a response via twitter.

In the statement they have made it clear, it is the B.1.617.2 variant, which originated in India. Phylogenetic testing has shown this B.1.617.2 variant to be associated with several clusters in Singapore. “There is no truth whatsoever in the assertion found within the reports. “, it said.

External affairs minister of India, S Jaishankar has also tweeted in response to this. He said “Irresponsible comments can damage long standing partnerships”. He also added that the Delhi Chief Minister does not speak for India and that the Delhi Chief Minister had no competence to pronounce on variants.

There is no truth in the assertion that there is a new COVID strain in Singapore. Phylogenetic testing has shown that the B.1.617.2 variant is the prevalent strain in many of the COVID cases, including in children, in recent weeks in Singapore.https://t.co/uz0mNPNxlE https://t.co/Vyj7gyyzvJ

However, irresponsible comments from those who should know better can damage long-standing partnerships.

So, let me clarify- Delhi CM does not speak for India.
