The study also showed that 6.6 per cent of the samples sequenced in the state were of Delta variant.
Tamil Nadu health secretary, J. Radhakrishnan while speaking to IANS said, “The Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data was not meant to create any panic among the people. This is however to sensitise the people about the BA.2 variant.”
He also said that Tamil Nadu did not have much clinical difference between the two variants and said that people need to be cautious as in the last week several countries have recorded an increase in cases.
