Several labs have indicated that for one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected (called S gene dropout or S gene target failure) and this test can therefore be used as marker for this variant, pending sequencing confirmation.

使用这种方法发现这种变异株的速度比以前感染激增的速度更快,这表明这种变异株可能具有增长优势。
Using this approach, this variant has been detected at faster rates than previous surges in infection, suggesting that this variant may have a growth advantage.

有很多研究正在进行中,病毒进化技术咨询小组将继续对这种变异株进行评价。
There are a number of studies underway and the TAG-VE will continue to evaluate this variant.
8797
世卫组织将根据需要与会员国和公众交流新的研究发现。
WHO will communicate new findings with Member States and to the public as needed.
Based on the evidence presented indicative of a detrimental change in COVID-19 epidemiology, the TAG-VE has advised WHO that this variant should be designated as a VOC, and the WHO has designated B.1.1.529 as a VOC, named Omicron.
