Tracing the First Days of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic in Greece and the Role of the First Imported Group of Travelers
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The strain that dominated in Greece during the first pandemic wave was primarily imported from a group of returning travelers in February 2020, while molecular and clinical data suggest that the origin of the transmission was Egypt. The observed molecular transmission clusters reflect the transmission dynamics of this particular strain bearing the D614G mutation while highlighting the necessity of their use as a surveillance tool for the prioritization of nonpharmaceutical interventions and combating present and future outbreaks.
