From Airport to School to Hospital – the Story of a Rare SARS-CoV-2 Virus Variant Import Told with the Help of Patient Swabs and Wastewater-Based Epidemiology

2025-02-13

Abstract excerpt

In December 2021, an outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.640.2 variant, potentially originating from Cameroon, was investigated among schoolchildren in Germany. The index case, an adult who had recently returned from a three-week stay in the Republic of Congo, introduced the variant into a school setting via their children, resulting in subsequent transmission within the school and ultimately to a hospital ward.
