Rospotrebnadzor announced the ability of Russian tests to detect variant AY.4.2

"The overwhelming majority of test systems based on PCR or isothermal amplification are absolutely capable of detecting this variant of the virus, like, in fact, many other genovariants," RIA Novosti quotes Khafizova.

According to him, scientists are constantly checking for new mutations that test systems could not identify.

Earlier, in Moscow and the Moscow region, three cases of the disease with a subspecies of the delta strain of coronavirus AY.4.2 were registered.
