In the laboratory of the Santara Clinics of the Vilnius University Hospital (VUL SK) 94 samples were examined, 27 of which were assigned to line B.1.1.7. This variety represents 64 percent. (14/22) Vilnius, 100 percent. (1/1) Kaunas, 11 percent. (7/65) Klaipeda, 75 percent. (3/4) Alytus and 100 percent. (2/2) Utena County VUL SK samples tested this week.

The reference laboratory of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) analyzed 678 samples, of which 415 cases belong to line B.1.1.7 and 1 case to line B.1.351. The last case belongs to Vilnius County. Meanwhile, cases B.1.1.7 represent 76 percent. (324/424) Vilnius, 38 percent. (20/53) Kaunas, 14 percent. (10/73) Klaipeda, 64 percent. (16/25) Alytus, 53 percent. (10/19) Utena, 48 percent. (12/25) Šiauliai, 53 percent. (17/9) Marijampolė, 18 percent. (2/11) Panevėžys and 33 percent. (1/3) Latest samples analyzed by Tauragė County ECDC. The distribution of 11 cases by counties is being adjusted.

How to Compile a Sample Sequence for Sampling

Aistis Šimaitis, Senior Advisor to the Chancellery of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, explained that the weekly sample for sequencing is designed to reflect the distribution of the population. Every Tuesday, about 1300 PCR positive samples from all over Lithuania are analyzed and analyzed during the last 7 days:

* The number of samples is distributed proportionally by counties based on the number of new cases in the previous 7 days;

* The number of samples assigned to each county in the first bullet is randomly selected from the number of positive PCR tests in that county during a 7-day period.

To date, a total of 3,641 samples have been sequenced and 1,323 cases of virus lines B.1.1.7 and 8 B.1.351 have been detected in Lithuania, according to the sequencing project coordinated by NVSPL.
