Early transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in South Africa: An epidemiological and phylogenetic report

2020-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The emergence of a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, in December 2019, progressed to become a world pandemic in a few months and reached South Africa at the beginning of March. To investigate introduction and understand the early transmission dynamics of the virus, we formed the South African Network for Genomics Surveillance of COVID (SANGS_COVID), a network of ten government and university labor...
