Spread of a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant across Europe in summer 2020

(29.10.2020)

Cur­rently, 20A.EU1 ac­counts for 90% of se­quences from the UK, 60% of se­quences from Ire­land, and between 30 and 40% of se­quences in Switzer­land and the Neth­er­lands. This makes this vari­ant cur­rently one of the most pre­val­ent in Europe. It has also been iden­ti­fied in France, Bel­gium, Ger­many, Italy, Latvia, Nor­way, and Sweden.
