Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital said that majority of samples collected from COVID-positive patients were sent for genome sequencing, which were analysed this week, PTI reported quoting a senior official of the hospital.
The study, involving 90 patients, found that BA 2.75 is more transmissible than Omicron’s previous subvariants.
