Fact is that the numbers are going up fact is that the numbers are going up very sharply. next slide, please. what is happening in the uk? i'm afraid that the data here are now clear. what you can see here is the number on the left and on the right, the percentage of cases with what is called s gene target failure which is a markerfor omicron. virtually all the cases now have this market have omicron, a small number will not add as you can see, whether you look at the absolute account or the percentage, this is going up incredibly fast now and as the prime minister has said, it is doubling at ...

Actually sequencing that library. >> reporter: the world health organization and the cdc declared omicron a variant of concern after it was flagged by scientists in south africa. a mutation causes a peculiar test israel called an s gene dropout. >> n gene is the blue curve and the green curve is the s gene. >> it would normally up there with them? >> yeah. >> reporter: making a suspicious case easy to spot for expedited sequencing. >> we have about six samples that have that signature s gene dropout. >> reporter: sequencing is required to confirm omicron. scientists say they've seen many diffe...

That library. >> reporter: the world health organization and the cdc declared omicron a variant of concern after it was flagged by scientists in south africa. a mutation in the omicron variant causes a peculiar test result called an s-gene dropout. >> n-gene is the blue curve and the then the s-gene. >> reporter: making a suspicious case easy to spot for expedited sequencing. >> we have about six samples that have that significant s-gene dropout. >> reporter: but sequencing is required to confirm omicron because it isn't the only variant with that marker. scientists at mako say they've seen ma...

Will the Omicron bring about a third wave and how bad will it be for India? Doctors say not to panic but follow these measures. Read on.

Library. >> reporter: the world health organization and cdc declared omicron a variant of concern after it was flagged by scientists in south africa. a mutation in the omicron variant causes a peculiar test result called an s-gene drop out. >> the green curve is the s-gene. it would normally be up there with them. >> reporter: making a suspicious case easy to spot for expedited sequencing. >> we have about six samples right now that have that signature s-gene drop out. >> reporter: but sequencing is required to confirm omicron because it isn't the only variant with that type of marker. scienti...
