A Novel and Expanding SARS-CoV-2 Variant, B.1.1.318, dominates infections in Mauritius medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Mauritius is an example of controlling #COVID19 in Africa, with 1,700 infections and only 18 deaths. However, one variant seems to have caused the great majority of all of the infections 
Mauritius has stopped dozens of introductions of the Beta (501Y.V2/B.1.351) and Alpha (B.1.1.7) but the B.1.1.318, which has the 484K mutation (common to Beta) and the 681H mutation (common to Alpha) has caused all local transmitted cases.
