Abstrakt:	SARS-CoV-2 has spread vastly throughout the word. In this study, we focus on the patterns of spread in Lithuania. By analysing the genetically sequenced data of different lineages and their first appearances, we were able to compare the dynamics of spreading of the lineages and recognize the main possible cause. The impact of emigration patterns and international travel on the variety of lineages was also assessed. Results showed different patterns of spread, and while a vast variety of different lineages were brought in by international travel, many of the viral outbreaks were caused by local lineages. It can be concluded that international travel had the most impact on the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
