In Foggia, in Puglia, the viral genome of the English variant of Covid-19 was sequenced.

The most significant news today is that the institute for experimental zooprophylaxis has managed to isolate the virus corresponding to this strain, a fact of great scientific importance. We take this opportunity to express our applause to those who have carried out these analyzes successfully and to all the health personnel who continue their activities incessantly even in these days. This was announced by the president of the Puglia region. Michele Emiliano and the councilor for health Pier luigi lopalco.

English variant, a case identified in Puglia
«December 24 – explain Antonio Fasanella general director of the Zooprophylactic Institute and Antonio Parisi, Head of the Genetics Laboratory of the Putignano section – for one of the samples a broad cytopathic effect on the cells was highlighted and the real-time PCR test confirmed the isolation of the virus. Today, the analysis of the sequences obtained in both samples revealed the presence of a viral genotype corresponding to the so-called English variant of SARS Cov2. The complete genome sequences of the two viruses will be deposited in the public database and made available to the international scientific community.
