Epidemiological characteristics of three SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and implications for future COVID-19 pandemic outcomes

2021-05-21

Abstract excerpt

Three SARS-CoV-2 variants classified as variants of concern – B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1 – have spread globally. To characterize their viral and epidemiological properties in support of public health planning, we develop and apply a model-inference system to estimate the changes in transmissibility and immune escape for each variant, based on case and mortality data from the country where each variant emerged. Acco...
