On 2021-02-11 a superspreading event most likely occurred in USA. 44 days later (2021-03-27) it started to super-spread through the community. A total of 144 copies of this genome (that represents the core of the outbreak), were reported in Gisaid, a proxy for primary transmissions, along with 381 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 2021-04-13, 60 days after it started, with 172752 sequences found in total.
The last sequence of the superspreading event was collected on 2021-04-30.
The sequence of this event has been classified as Alpha.
