It worked to rapidly pick up the BA.2.86 variant here.
The US Traveler Genomic Surveillance (TGS) program at 6 major airports nailed it at Dulles within first few days in August after first identified in Israel and Denmark

This is a wonderfully in-depth piece about what @XpresCheck, @CDC, and @Gingko are doing in Bio-Security
Airplane lavatories deliver new hope for the CDC’s variant hunt https://t.co/ZLgFsNs8Rj via @politico
This is why we built the TGS program with CDC and Gingko. XpresCheck is helping the world understand what is happening in China.

The CDC TGS Program is an essential part of Pandemic Preparedness. XpresCheck is honored to be part of it. Monitoring new and emerging bio-threats at airports is critical to keep the country safe.

We are very proud of our team at XpresCheck and the work they are doing every day with the CDC and Gingko to keep our nation safe and informed!

@CDCGOV, @XpresCheck,
@concentricbygbw
Really excited and proud to see our data up on the CDC's COVID Data Tracker. As genomic sequencing decreases throughout the world, our Traveler-Based Genomic Surveillance can be an incredibly strategic tool to keep track of how the virus is evolving.

Grace Appiah @CDCgov will discuss how our traveler-based SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program fills gaps in global public health data at #IDWeek2022. Stop by on Fri at 2:15 PM to find out how the program came to life, what we discovered, & where it’s headed next! @xprescheck
The era of mapping infectious disease using modern biotech for data collection and global travel nodes as sensors has officially begun...

No turning back if we seek a biosecure world.
Great work @CDCgov@RWalensky@Ginkgo @concentricbygbw @XpresCheck.
The @CDCgov spokesperson also confirmed that the agency's variant surveillance with @Ginkgo/@XpresCheck also spotted
"BA 2.75.2 from flights from India"
"BF.7 in flights from France"

🗞️Extra, extra!🗞️We relaunched our Prognosis newsletter to account for all things Covid➕other health news. Today we built on the XpresSpa surveillance story w/ bonus reporting:
"Every movie that you’ve ever seen about a pandemic is set in the airport..."

Public-Private partnerships in action! Wonderful to partner with @XpresCheck@CDCgov & @concentricbygbw on this program. For this pandemic and whatever comes next, understanding pathogens as they cross borders is a critical early warning capability for Global Health Security.
Early detection of viruses is vital, and travelers are an important consideration when tracking infectious diseases. @CDCgov launched an innovative warning genomic surveillance at four US International airports to detect new SARS-CoV-2 variants. Learn more https://t.co/bXyzVSkCe6
Today we are excited to share the pre-publication of the results of our flagship SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program with @CDCgov, @XpresCheck, and @Ginkgo/@concentricbygbw in 4 US Airports - https://t.co/ftfeSGjKak - thread
