@arambaut @viralverity @MOUGK

We report that pangolin assigned 5,246 B.1.1.7 sequences from 26 countries. In addition to countries with B.1.1.7 sequences on GISAID previously, Jamaica (4) and Pakistan (2) are now also represented. @viralverity @arambaut

We report 353 B.1.351 sequences from 4 countries (no increase relative to yesterday's report).

We include updated weekly rolling-average frequency plots for both B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 for countries with a minimum of 10 new variant sequences over a minimum of 10 days. @viralverity

For lineage B.1.1.7 we have updated sequence counts and reports over volume of flight passengers leaving London in October. @MOUGK @EvolveDotZoo
We've also updated reports of B.1.1.7 bringing the total number of countries reporting to 39, with 26 of those represented on GISAID

Updated reports of lineage B.1.351 brings the total number of countries reporting to 9, 4 of which are represented by sequence data on GISAID. @MOUGK

We are actively maintaining the reports of both B.1.1.7 and B.1.351. If any reports we have missed come to light, feel free to alert us over Twitter or by a PR on GitHub here: github.com/cov-lineages/l… @arambaut @EvolveDotZoo @MOUGK @viralverity
