Delhi's chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had called for a halt to flights, saying a new "Singapore strain" was "extremely dangerous for children".

He added that it could result in a third wave of the infection in India.

Singapore's ministry of health has reacted strongly to the claims.

"The strain that is prevalent in many of the Covid-19 cases in recent weeks 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," Singapore's Ministry of Health said in a statement.

"There is no 'Singapore variant'."

Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan also tweeted, saying "politicians should stick to facts".

India's foreign minister S Jaishankar responded on Wednesday, saying Mr Kejriwal did not speak "for India".
