Neuquen health authorities have reported an increase in the circulation of the Manaus breed and announced that the British variant has been discovered in Patagonia.
Neuquén Central Laboratory prepared a report based on the sequencing conducted this week on the basis of 35 samples selected from various sites in the county.
The Ministry of Health in Neuquen stated, in a statement, that “the samples come from patients with an epidemiological history (severe forms of disease, the possibility of re-infection, among other things), and from a percentage of positive samples chosen randomly.”
Likewise, he explained, “From the results obtained, it is clear that from the randomly selected positive samples, the variable 501Y.V3 (proportions P.1, Manaus) was detected in 46.1% of them”.
“With regards to the variant 501Y.V1 (lineage B.1.1.7, UK), it was found at 7.7% and 38.5% that corresponds to other variants and mutations of interest,” said Health Portfolio.
Finally, he stressed that “the boycott efforts aim at early identification of new variants of SARS-Cove-2, and to achieve a description of the epidemiological situation at the local, regional and national levels.”
