Uhlobo olutsha, olunokudluliselwa kakhulu lwe-SARS-CoV-2 olufunyenwe kuMazantsi e-Afrika, i-B.1.1.529 (okanye i-Omicron) inemibutho yezempilo yoluntu kunye noorhulumente abathe qwa. I-B.1.1.529 ngowona mahluko ahlukeneyo achongiweyo ngamanani abalulekileyo, kunye neenguqu ezingaphezulu kwe-30 kwi-S-gene, ephakamisa iinkxalabo kulawulo lwesifo kunye nothintelo.
Ngenxa yeenkxalabo malunga notshintsho olonakalisayo kwi-COVID-19 epidemiology, i-WHO ichonge i-B.1.1.529 njengenye yenkxalabo ngoNovemba 26, 2021. Amagosa ezempilo abonisa ukuba ulwazi oluthe kratya luyafuneka ukuze kuqondwe ukuba i-Omicron inosulelo okanye ibukhali kune ezinye iinguqulelo, kuquka Delta.
I-WHO kunye namaZiko aseYurophu oLawulo lweZifo zombini baye baxela ukuba ukusebenzisa i-S-gene ye-target failure (SGTF) ye-PCR assays njenge-proxy ye-variant yanceda ukuchonga i-Omicron.
I-Aehealth isungule iKhithi yePCR ukubona ilahleko yejini ye-S ukunceda ukwahlula ukwahluka kwe-Omicron kwezinye iintlobo ze-Covid-19. I-2019-nCoV Omicron Variant PCR Kit inovakalelo oluphezulu (200copies/mL), i-enzyme ye-UDG yongezwa kwi-reagent ukuthintela ukungcoliseka kwe-PCR reaction carryover.
