MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th October, 2021) Most Russian coronavirus test systems are capable of detecting a new variant of the Delta strain, AY.4.2, Kamil Khafizov, the head of the scientific group for the development of new methods for diagnosing human diseases at Russian consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor's Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, told Sputnik.
