Implementation of a qPCR assay coupled with genomic surveillance for real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

2021

We developed a genomic surveillance program for real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in Uruguay. Here, we present the first results, including the proposed qPCR-VOC method, the general workflow and the report of the introduction and community transmission of the VOC P.1 in Uruguay in multiple independent events.
