Hundreds of Covid tests in Hackney have been sequenced since the council ramped up testing in areas with variants of concern.
It reports no particular increase in positive tests so far.
Hackney council has already distributed over 5,500 tests, out of 7,000 households, to monitor the levels of new Indian and South African Covid variants of concern.
It has had about 600 returns after appealing to the public living and working in affected areas.
