Comprehensive contact tracing during an outbreak of alpha-variant SARS-CoV-2 in a rural community reveals less viral genomic diversity and higher household secondary attack rates than expected

Audun Sivertsen, Nicolay Mortensen, Unni Solem…·Elling Ulvestad

This study uses genomic and contact tracing data from a rural SARS-CoV-2 outbreak to show limited viral genomic diversity and high household secondary attack rates.
