Rospotrebnadzor has developed a test that can detect whether a person with coronavirus strain "omicron" is infected or not. This was announced by Rinat Maksyutov, the general director of Vektor.

"Using such a test system, we answer two questions at once: whether a person is infected with SARS-CoV-2, and if infected, is it the Omicron variant or not," he said on air of Russia 1 channel.

According to him, now the test systems are being tested in the laboratory, and if necessary, they will be registered and begin to be used.

At the same time, Maksyutov stressed that the Omicron strain has a higher rate of spread compared to the Delta strain and added that the developers of vaccines and coronavirus drugs based on monoclonal antibodies have noted a decrease in protection with Omicron.
