Study, commissioned on November 11, will collect 100 samples from 14 districts every month, for three months
To better understand the genomic variation in the strains of SARS-CoV-2 in the State, the Kerala government has tied up with the CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) for a survey.
The study, commissioned on November 11, will collect 100 samples from 14 districts every month, for three months. The exercise is a follow-up of a pilot study that the same group of scientists did in Kozhikode, from which it emerged that outbreaks in the State were less due to international expatriates and more due to reduced monitoring of inter-State movement once the restrictions were eased.
