The Iranian scientists produced diagnostic test kits capable of detecting the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

The director-general of the company says every new variant of the virus that enters Iran, it is necessary to examine the kits produced.
Mohammad-Bagher Mahmoudi said: "We produced several diagnostic kits, one of which is related to virus extraction. In the first year of the corona pandemic, we met up to 90% of the country's needs, and gradually other companies entered the field."
Mahmoudi said the company was the first manufacturer of the kits distinguishing the Covid-19 virus from an influenza virus of types A and B.
