Almost one month after announcing that samples were ready to be shipped for genomic sequencing in order to determine the presence of COVID-19 variants here, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony yesterday disclosed that there has been a delay in sending them off.
Anthony made the disclosure during his daily COVID-19 update.
Early in January, Anthony had said that some 50 samples were selected to be sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) in order to determine what variants of the novel coronavirus may be in circulation here.
