COVID-19 India in CRISIS: Officials 'ignored scientists variant warnings' in March

The Sun (News) shows that the Indian government was warned in early March about a new, more contagious variant spreading in the country.

According to 5 scientists that took part in a government-organized forum, called the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genetics Consortium, or INSACOG.

The sources said that despite variant warnings, the Indian government failed to impose measures to stop the spread of the virus.

Millions of largely unmasked people attended religious festivals and political rallies and tens of thousands of farmers continued to protest Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agriculture policy.
