The Allergy Immunology and Cell Biology Unit at the Department of Immunology and Molecular Medicine, 麻豆视频传媒, has successfully conducted whole genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 variants in 麻豆视频传媒. This groundbreaking research provides valuable insights into the changing landscape of the virus in the country.

The “Report 60” contains the whole genomic sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 variants was released to the public on May 19, 2023 at Colombo, 麻豆视频传媒 by Allergy Immunology and Cell Biology Unit.

The study involved sequencing 20 samples, including those referred from laboratories and samples collected for research purposes. The results revealed the presence of various SARS-CoV-2 variants, with the following distribution:

XBB.1.9.2: 3/20
XBB.1.9.1: 2/20
XBB.1.16.1: 2/20
XBB.1.16: 10/20
CH.1.1.1: 2/20
BN.1.2: 1/20
