At Kerala's Omicron Testing Centre, A Race To Examine 30 Samples

After confirming the first case of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, Kerala is running the genome sequencing tests on 30 more samples at the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology in Thiruvananthapuram. As NDTV stepped into the laboratory - where the initial 8-hour preparatory work on the samples is done - the team members were seen wearing Personal Protective Equipment or PPE kits, working on samples in the demarcated task-specific cabins.
