Dr. Sebastian Maurer-Stroh and his team, were recently featured on the Sunday Times for their contribution towards the development of the classification of Sars-CoV-2 viral clades and subclades used to track the virus mutations and movement of the clades around the world.

Thanks to the genomes sequenced in òòò½Íø– which all go towards the international GISAID database – the Republic is shown to have been successful in containing the spread of COVID-19 here. Such genomic sequencing not only helps to connect different, previously unlinked clusters, it also indicates how effectively the spread of COVID-19 is being tackled.
