The name of a newly identified variant of the coronavirus has had some social media users scratching their heads about the World Health Organization\u2019s system for labeling certain versions of the virus.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The WHO chose on Friday to dub the variant, first reported to the agency by scientists in South Africa, \u201comicron\u201d \u2014 continuing its use of the Greek alphabet for naming notable variants of the virus.<\/p>\n

Social media users correctly noted, however, that the organization skipped two letters in doing so, leading to questions about the move.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Here\u2019s what we know about how omicron ended up with its name.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

CLAIM: The World Health Organization has labeled the new strain the \u201comicron\u201d variant, skipping over \u201cnu\u201d and \u201cxi\u201d without explanation.<\/p>\n

THE FACTS: The WHO on Friday gave the name \u201comicron\u201d to a new variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The agency also deemed it a \u201c variant of concern.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Omicron was first reported to the U.N. health agency by scientists in South Africa and has been identified in several other countries as well, The Associated Press has reported.<\/p>\n

The WHO has followed the Greek alphabet when labeling certain variants of the virus, SARS-CoV-2, since May. It said the system allows for variants to be referred to in a simpler way than by their scientific names, and that it helps prevent people from referring to variants by the location where they were detected and creating stigma.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Many people had expected the agency to label the latest variant nu, which comes after mu, a variant designated on Aug. 30.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Instead, the WHO skipped over nu as well as xi, the next Greek letter in line \u2014 a move that many users on social media pointed out, while some questioned whether it was to avoid offending Chinese leader Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n

In a statement provided to the AP, the WHO said it skipped nu for clarity and xi to avoid causing offense generally.<\/p>\n

\u201c`Nu\u2019 is too easily confounded with `new,\u2019 and `Xi\u2019 was not used because it is a common last name,\u201d the WHO said, adding that the agency\u2019s \u201cbest practices for naming disease suggest avoiding `causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n

Those best practices were outlined in a May 2015 document issued by the agency. The organization said at the time that it wanted to \u201cminimize unnecessary negative effects on nations, economies and people\u201d when naming infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

This is the first time the organization has skipped letters since it began using the Greek alphabet for coronavirus variants; it has previously used the alphabet to label 12 others. Alpha, beta, gamma and delta are all currently \u201cvariants of concern\u201d like omicron. Lambda and mu are given the less serious \u201cvariant of interest\u201d designation. Six other letters were assigned to former variants of interest.<\/p>\n

The omicron variant appears to have a high number of mutations in the coronavirus\u2019 spike protein, which could affect how easily it spreads to people. The WHO said Friday that preliminary evidence \u201csuggests an increased risk of reinfection\u201d compared to other variants of concern.<\/p>\n

But scientists are still in the process of researching exactly what the genetic changes mean, to know if the variant is more transmissible or dangerous. So far, there is no indication the variant causes more severe disease.<\/p>\n
