We report 3 cases of severe COVID-19 due to the SARS-CoV-2 P.1 lineage in a familial cluster detected in Salvador, Bahia-Brazil. All cases were linked to travel by family members from the state of Amazonas to Bahia in late December 2020. This report indicates the cryptic transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 P.1 lineage across Brazil and highlights the importance of genomic surveillance to track the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.
我们报告了 3 例严重的 COVID-19 病例，这些病例是在巴西巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多发现的 SARS-CoV-2 P.1 谱系家族性聚集病例。所有病例均与 2020 年 12 月下旬家庭成员从亚马逊州前往巴伊亚州有关。本报告表明 SARS-CoV-2 P.1 谱系在巴西的隐匿传播，并强调了基因组监测对于追踪新出现的 SARS-CoV-2 关切变异株的重要性。
