B.1.1.7 became the dominant variant in Lebanon

2021-03-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Recently, a new variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) designated VOC 202012/01 (or B.1.1.7 lineage) has become highly prevalent in several countries, after first being described in the United Kingdom (UK). Its rate of transmission has been estimated to be increased compared to other lineages. In the present study, we show the emergence, dominance and the rapid sp...
