Speaking at the event, the Delhi Kejriwal said, "We were dependent on the Central government's lab at National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) till now and we had to send all our samples to that lab.

If we get to know which variant it is, it will help in taking action and framing strategies." "From today, this facility is being started. I have been told that this is the third such facility in North India. One is NCDC, the other one is National Institute of Virology Pune and this is the third facility that is being started. People of Delhi will be benefitted from it."
