Coronavirus: Toronto researchers say ‘window is closing’ to get COVID-19 U.K. variant under control
Description
January 24, 2021
A Toronto researcher with the University Health Network says more testing needs to be done to determine how prevalent the COVID-19 U.K. variant is in Canada. He says right now only a small percentage of COVID-19 tests are sequenced to look for the variant, and that is a disadvantage in getting the pandemic under control. Katherine Ward reports.
