NEW DELHI: States and Union territories have been asked to submit "larger number" of samples for whole genome sequencing from districts and areas which have seen a surge in Covid-19 cases over a period of seven days, official sources said on Saturday.
The direction was issued during Friday's meeting by the INSACOG which reviewed the Covid-19 data to check the possibility of any new emerging variant or sub-variant and ascertain the reasons behind the breakthrough infections.
