Low Testing Rates Limit the Ability of Genomic Surveillance Programs to Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Variants: A Mathematical Modelling Study

2022-05-23

Abstract excerpt

Background: Genomic surveillance is essential for monitoring the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants. SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing is the starting point for SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing. However, testing rates in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are low (mean = 27 tests/100,000 people/day) and global testing rates are falling in the post-crisis phase of the pandemic, leading to spatiotempora...
