In the past month, Singapore seemed to have more cases of the B1617 variant in local transmissions than in imported cases. This is according to information on the GISAID website – a portal for countries to share Coronavirus data.
Singapore has uploaded a total of 292 virus genome sequences onto GISAID. Over the last 4 weeks, more than 91% were strains of the B1617 variant. We are second only to Iran’s 100%. This shows that the variant is very easily spread and has taken over our local transmissions.
