The materials of patients are stored in the National Genome Database. The biobank of patient material created in cooperation with the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Center, leading Latvian hospitals, and other scientific institutions will be used to study the virus mutation detected in Latvia, as well as for future research of COVID-19 in Latvia and internationally.
