niman Posted December 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 As part of its research work, ETH Zurich also sequenced around 500 samples from people who tested positive. Using this procedure, the two variants can be discovered. The variant from South Africa was found in two samples. The British variant was not detected. One of the two people who tested positive is in the canton of Schwyz. The second person is in France. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is in contact with the Schwyzer and the French authorities. https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/das-bag/aktuell/medienmitteilungen.msg-id-81830.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
