Subject: Official Information request - Cost of COVID whole genome sequencing

Dear Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited,

Can you please tell me how much it costs to run a whole genome sequencing on a COVID sample? Please let me know the costs for routine weekly testing and for urgent testing.

If there are components to the cost that can't be easily quantified, I would still appreciate some info on the parts you can quantify (eg consumable costs, staff costs, etc)

If you can't give exact figures for any reason a rough estimate will also be appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Felix Lee
