Most labs in Canada not fully able to detect Delta COVID-19 variant, experts warn
Canada’s current efforts to identify COVID-19 variants, especially that of Delta B.1.617, may not be enough to truly track its spread across the country, according to several experts.
According to Dr. Laurence Pelletier, a researcher from the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital, public health units across the provinces are, for the most part, not equipped with testing equipment that can fully sequence or identify some COVID-19 variants.
