The Central government on Friday said the Lambda variant of Covid-19 is not found in India but people should be cautious of such variant.
“Lambda variant of coronavirus is a variant of interest. We should be watchful of such variants. As of now, there is no evidence that this variant has been identified in India,” Dr VK Paul, Member-Health, NITI Aayog said at a weekly press conference.

Dr Paul also said mass gathering at tourist spots in the country is a “serious cause of concern”.
