Guest : Dr Tasnim Suliman

While much of the scientific and medical community rushes to develop therapeutic
agents for COVID-19 based on clinical data, getting a better understanding of the brandnew
virus remains crucial.
That’s why it’s so important that South Africa obtained its very first known laboratory
isolate of SARS-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on 1 April 2020, courtesy of the
collaborative efforts of the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and Stellenbosch
University (SU).
