Genomics-Informed Responses in the Elimination of COVID-19 in Australia

2021-05-08

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A cornerstone of Australia’s ability to control COVID-19 has been effective border control, using an extensive supervised quarantine program. However, a rapid recrudescence in COVID-19 cases was observed in the state of Victoria in June 2020. Here, we describe the genomic findings that located the source of this second wave as a breach in supervised hotel quarantine and demonstrate the successful elimi...
