Data source and processing
The data on this page is recent as of 2022-08-19, 01:14 GMT. All SARS-CoV-2 sequences were downloaded from GISAID and genomes were de-duplicated based on GISAID sequence name – note that the publically available metadata may not fully allow us to de-duplicate by patient. Full data processing pipeline found here. The sequences were then assigned lineages with pangolin 3.1.20, pangoLEARN version 2022-02-02.
Pangolin assigns B.1.1.529 to sequences with at least 32 of the 47 defining B.1.1.529 SNPs – defined here.
Caveat: Most locations outside the original focus have not reported sustained transmission and many cases have known travel links to the focal location. Increasing numbers of international cases is currently likely due to increased surveillance and vigilance.
