We report 7,348 B.1.1.7 sequences on GISAID from 27 countries as of this morning. In addition to previously represented countries, Oman reports 1 B.1.1.7 sequence.
We report 363 B.1.351 (501Y.V2) sequences on GISAID from 5 countries – no increase from yesterday's report. @Tuliodna
We also present updated reports of B.1.1.7 and sequence counts for countries with more than 5,000 flight passengers from London in October, in addition to an updated global map coloured by reports of imports or local transmission of B.1.1.7. @MOUGK@EvolveDotZoo@viralverity
We report flight data from South Africa in October with reports & sequence counts of B.1.351/ 501Y.V2 overlayed, in addition to the global map of B.1.351/ 501Y.V2 reports. Note the flight data reflects final destination of a booking, but not necessarily of a passenger. @Tuliodna
As of 2021-01-06, lineage B.1.1.7 has been reported in 45 countries and is represented by sequences from 27 countries. Lineage B.1.351/ 501Y.V2 has been reported in 12 countries with sequences from 5 countries. @arambaut@Tuliodna@viralverity@MOUGK

We report 7,979 B.1.1.7 sequences from 28 countries on GISAID, as of today including the Lebanon (1).
We also report 386 B.1.351/ 501Y.V2 sequences on GISAID from 8 countries, including as of today from Botswana (6), France (2) and Sweden (1). @houzhou@Tuliodna@ArnoldTumedi
We report pangolin assigned 7,160 B.1.1.7 sequences from 26 countries.
And 363 B.1.351 (501-V2) sequences from 5 countries. In addition to countries previously represented by sequences on GISAID, South Korea now reports a B.1.351 (501Y.V2) sequence. @Tuliodna
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).
Latest SARS-CoV-2 new variant report now available for 2021-01-02. As of this evening, there are 4,697 B.1.1.7 sequences from 23 countries and 353 B.1.351 sequences from 4 countries across the world. @arambaut@viralverity
Todays report — and pangolin v2.1.6 — comes with an updated set of lineage defining SNPs to assign B.1.351, to make use of the SNPs described in this preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
We now assign B.1.351 to sequences with 5 or more of the defining SNPs. @arambaut@Tuliodna
In addition to countries previously represented on GISAID, New Zealand has uploaded 6 B.1.1.7 genomes.
Latest new variant report for 2020-12-31 now online.
pangolin assigned 4,632 B.1.1.7 sequences from 21 countries across the world. In addition to countries previously reported, there are now B.1.1.7 sequences from USA (2), Switzerland (1) and Germany (1). @arambaut@viralverity
New sequences reported from the UK, Denmark, the Netherlands and India, in addition to the new sequences from the USA, Switzerland and Germany.
The frequency plot shows the proportion of sequences from each country that are lineage B.1.1.7. For countries with low numbers of sequences reported, the frequency is likely not representative of the SARS-CoV-2 circulating in the community.
