Apologies if this has been asked before but is there a way to find out what strain of the virus you have?
I tested positive last week and I assume I have Omicron as a) it appears to be all I hear about on the news and b) it's really not that bad......for me anyway.
Given the government are announcing Omicron numbers I'm assuming they are testing for this during the PCR? Is there a way as an individual I can find out what I tested positive for?
Knowing is of no use to me whatsoever I'm simply curious.
Tried googling and found this: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210914/covid-strain-unknown-to-patients but that is US focused.
