To tell which variant might might be present in a specimen, scientists must perform whole genome sequencing (WGS) on that specimen. At this time, WGS is available for surveillance purposes only, not for individual diagnostic purposes.

Surveillance is what is done to detect outbreaks and prevalence of strains. It's done every year to determine the following flu shot.

People on Cyprus are still dying? They should move to a place where nobody dies.

Latest word is that they will “circle back” with an answer on how they detect the Delta variant.

Isn’t surveillance done on those who aren’t even symptomatic? I remember this sort of “testing” happening with Original Covid.
