Abstract excerpt
Persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections have been hypothesized to play a key role in the emergence of variants of concern. However, the factors determining which individuals are at risk and their viral molecular signatures during infection remain poorly understood. Using Denmark's extensive COVID-19 surveillance, comprising over 700,000 genomes, we identify 303 persistent infections and, critically, link them to health...
