The order comes in the wake of a sample testing positive for the Delta plus variant at the ESIC Hospital, Faridabad.

Rajesh Bhushan, Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare, in a communication to state Chief Secretary, told him to “ensure that adequate samples of positive persons are sent to the designated laboratories of INACOG, a consortium of laboratories for whole genome sequencing in the context of the Covid pandemic so that the clinical epidemiological correlations can be established.”

The Delta Plus variant has increased transmissibility, stronger binding to receptors of lung cells and potential reduction in monoclonal antibody response. — TNS
