Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants will require global monitoring to ensure diagnostic tests, vaccines, and other antiviral therapies remain effective. As the virus’ mutations change its transmissibility and/or severity, public health control measures can stay ahead of the curve by analysing a subset of positive COVID-19 patient samples. These genomic surveillance programs include genotyping and sequencing the mutations, which can help characterise known variants and discover novel variants.

Is it really negative? The importance of using accurate metrics for COVID-19 diagnosis
As the WHO set guidelines for measuring COVID-19 viral loads during clinical diagnosis, one research group challenged the accuracy of this metric (and provided a better alternative)
