Abstract

Tracking the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern is crucial to inform public health efforts and control the ongoing pandemic. Here, we report genetic evidence for circulation of the P.1 variant in Northeast Brazil. We advocate for increased active surveillance to ensure adequate control of this variant throughout the country.

摘要

追踪高关注变异株 SARS-CoV-2 的传播对于指导公共卫生工作和控制当前的大流行至关重要。在此，我们报告了 P.1 变异株在巴西北部流行的遗传证据。我们倡导加强主动监测，以确保在全国范围内对该变异株进行充分控制。
