Abstract

Research presented by Mariana Pires de Campos Telles (UFG) that seeks to contribute to the expansion of the massive testing offer of the population of Goiás, providing the service of molecular diagnosis of Coronavirus by PCR in real time, for the population in the State. In addition, it intends to sequence the genome of the virus that is circulating in Goiás, in order to know the real diversity of the pathogen and contribute to the establishment of transmission routes, maintaining a viral genetic surveillance, which will be important for understanding the quantity and quantity of the virus. way the disease is spreading in the state and in relation to the country.
