Abstract excerpt
In the Northeast of Brazil, Ceará was the second state most impacted by COVID-19 in number of cases and death rate. Despite that, the early dynamics of the pandemic in Ceará was not yet well understood due the low genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in 2020. In this study, we analyze the circulating lineages and the genomic variation of the virus in Ceará state. Thirty-four genomes were sequenced and combined with...
