The SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant is associated with increased clinical severity of COVID-19 in Scotland: a genomics-based retrospective cohort analysis

2021-08-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> The SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant was associated with increased transmission relative to other variants present at the time of its emergence and several studies have shown an association between Alpha variant infection and increased hospitalisation and 28-day mortality. However, none have addressed the impact on maximum severity of illness in the general population classified by the level of respira...
