Rapid spread and high impact of the Variant of Concern P.1 in the largest city of Brazil
Preprint
Abstract
First in Manaus in the Brazilian Northern region, the Variant of Concern P.1 traveled 3800 kilometers southeast to endanger Sao Paulo contributing to the collapse of the health system. Here, we show evidence of how fast the VOC P.1 has spread in the most populated city in South America.Keywords
