| Popis: | SARS-CoV-2 variants raise major concerns regarding the control of COVID-19 epidemics. We analyse 40,000 specific RT-PCR tests performed on SARS-CoV-2-positive samples collected between Jan 26 and Feb 16, 2021. We find a high transmission advantage of variants and show that their spread in the country is more advanced than anticipated. |
