As we all know by now COVID-19 variants has been named from the 24 Greek alphabets back in May of this year and so far 11 variants were identified already.

Just recently, a World Health Organisation (WHO) official has just announced that COVID-19 variants could be named after the constellations once Greek alphabet is used up.

In the coming weeks we will start to hear variants named as Pisces, Libra, Orion, Leo, Gemini, Aries, and Cancer.

WHO's COVID-19 technical lead Maria Van Kerkhove said, "We will possibly run out of the Greek alphabet, but we're already looking at the next series of names."

The WHO is making sure no one is upset with the names and no country is stigmatized.

Kerkhove also warned a dangerous new mutation is more likely to emerge in places with intense transmission rates or in areas with high vaccination rates.

She also added that there's a possibility of new variants emerging and could vaccines.

Could there be an Alien variant from the constellations?
