Rapid epidemic expansion of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in southern Africa

2021-12-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic in southern Africa has been characterised by three distinct waves. The first was associated with a mix of SARS-CoV-2 lineages, whilst the second and third waves were driven by the Beta and Delta variants respectively 1–3 . In November 2021, genomic surveillance teams in South Africa and Botswana detected a new SARS-CoV-2 v...
