SAN DIEGO (KGTV) The announcement of $1.75 billion in federal funding has rapidly expanded efforts to sequence genetic information from COVID-19 viral samples in search of troublesome variants, but scientists say more work needs to be done to address a key limitation in the nationâs early warning system.
Across the country, labs are now sequencing about 35,000 viral samples each week, or about 10 percent of all confirmed cases, according to Mary Lee Watts of the American Society for Microbiology.

JUNEAU, Alaska Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy says COVID-19 vaccines would be made available at key airports in the state starting June 1.
He made the announcement Friday, as he unveiled plans aimed at bolstering Alaska’s pandemic-battered tourist industry.
Dunleavy, a Republican, outlined plans for a national marketing campaign aimed at luring tourists and said the vaccine offering is “probably another good reason to come to the state of Alaska in the summer.”
Dunleavy and other state leaders have been pushing to allow large cruise ships to return to Alaska after COVID-19 restrictions kept them away last year.
