Superspread event
On 2021-01-19 a superspreading event most likely occurred in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes. 14 days later (2021-02-02) it started to super-spread through the community. A total of 32 copies of this genome (that represents the core of the outbreak), were reported in Gisaid, a proxy for primary transmissions, along with 32 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 2021-02-06, 18 days after it started, with 5463 sequences found in total.
The last sequence of the superspreading event was collected on 2021-05-05.
The sequence of this event has been classified as Alpha.
