2022-01-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant of concern (VoC) Omicron (B.1.1.529) has rapidly spread around the world presenting a new threat to global public human health. Due to the large number of mutations possessed by Omicron, concerns have emerged over potentially reduced diagnostic accuracy of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR),...
