On 2021-02-01 a superspreading event most likely occurred in Sweden. 4 days later (2021-02-05) it started to super-spread through the community. A total of 174 copies of this genome (that represents the core of the outbreak), were reported in Gisaid, a proxy for primary transmissions, along with 314 genomes that are one-step mutation with respect to the core genome (a proxy for secondary transmissions). The signature for the likely superspreading event ends at about 2021-02-23, 22 days after it started, with 28496 sequences found in total.
The last sequence of the superspreading event was collected on 2021-04-22.
