Guyana sending COVID-19 positive samples to the US for variant testing

Guyana's Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony says 180 COVID-19 samples are being sent to the Icahn School of Medicine in New York to determine if there are any variants of the virus in the country.
 
Dr. Anthony says the Caribbean Public Health Agency tested 10 abnormal samples last month.
 
Those samples did not reveal the presence of any mutation of COVID-19.
 
The health minister says the Government sought other testing sources due to Guyana's geographic location and the changing nature of the disease.
