A health worker takes a nasal swab of passenger for Covid-19 test at Bandra Terminus railway station, Nov 2020 (Mandar Deodhar) Even as apprehensions grow about new strains of the coronavirus outpacing vaccinations around the world, Indian scientists are putting the mutant strains under watch and bracing to launch a countrywide genome sequencing initiative. They have also highlighted concerns about how the virus lingers in the air and airborne transmission of Covid in a closed environment.
A joint study by the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, and the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTech), Chandigarh, has found the virus in the air samples of Covid wards in three hospitals each in the two cities. On January 5, the CCMB and IMTech released their data on the airborne nature of SARS-CoV-2. Researchers found the virus in infectious aerosols; smaller sized aerosols could be formed due to evaporation of water from large

HYDERABAD: After finding the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in drinking water, sewage and hospital walls, scientists have now isolated the virus from air samples collected from designated Covid-19 wards.
Researchers at city-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and Chandigarh-based Institute of Microbial Technology (IMT) have studied three hospitals each in Hyderabad and Chandigarh to find if the novel coronavirus was present in the atmosphere. They found the virus was circulating in the special Covid-19 wards or hospitals, while those treating non-Covid-19 patients did not contain any traces of the virus. CCMB and IMT researchers used an air sampler that collected virus particles, and then looked for their presence using RT-PCR. The study was published on preprint server MedRxiv.
