Tracking variants: Centre asks states to send all samples from Covid hotspots
Last Updated : 01 Dec 2021 08:56:54 AM IST

 

Tightening its genome sequencing measures to ensure early detection of new variants, including Omicron, the Union Health Ministry has asked states to send “100 per cent samples” from Covid hotspots, starting with two recent clusters in Karnataka’s Dharwad and Maharashtra’s Thane.

On Tuesday, during a high-level review meeting chaired by Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan, the states were advised to send “all positive samples” for genome sequencing to designated INSACOG labs “in a prompt manner”.
 
Earlier, only about five per cent of samples from positive cases detected by RT-PCR tests were sent for genome sequencing.
