Pune: The Ministry of Health of the State Community will refer almost all swab samples that test positive for Covid-19 at the Mumbai, Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad limit if the Spread of its community begins in Maharashtra.
Senior Microbiologist Dr.
Rajesh Karyakarte, the state coordinator for the sequencing of the genome, told TII, “The maximum daily sample limit for Mumbai will be 300, while for Pune (including Pimpri Chinchwad), it will be 100.
It is almost 4,000 samples will be sent for sequencing The genome in a 10-day period to assess the possibility of a new variant community transmission.
“Daily samples from Mumbai will be sent to the Kasturba Center Laboratory for the intact genome sequencing.
Samples from Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad Civic Limit will be sent to BJ Medical College.
It will distribute samples to other laboratories such as the Institute of Education and Science Research (IISER) and the National Center for Cell Science (NCC) according to needs.
Dr.
Karakarte said the accelerated sequencing targeted by the 909 positive covid samples taken from the infected patient community without a history of travel from Pune in November have found deltas and sub-lineages behind infection.
The National Disease Control Center has sent direction to choose Metros to choose community supervision after the emergence of the emergence of Omicron in the country.
So far, only samples of international travelers are sent for sequencing genomes, said state health department officials.
The official source said, “it has been almost a month since omicron detection in India.
The government has proactively tested international tourists.
Tourists from only high-risk countries were initially traced.
Those who came from other countries might not be traced, even though they might have a sumur On the way.
Therefore, exercises to check whether variants somehow slipped into the community.
