Pandemic spread: SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in Europe before border closures
Reconstructing the origin and early spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe on the basis of viral genome sequences from samples taken during spring 2020 can help guide discussions on the effectiveness of border closure policies. A study led by Sarah Nadeau and colleagues from the group of Tanja Stadler estimates that before the first border closures in Europe, the rate of new cases occurring from within-country transmission was within or exceeded the rate of new migration cases.
