1/3 New Connecticut #SARSCoV2 variant surveillance report - @CovidCT
B.1.1.7 is rising rapidly, now close to 25% of positives in the New Haven area (based on SGTF results, purple). I'm worried that a rebound in cases will follow.

2/3 Most of the *confirmed* B.1.1.7 cases have been found in New Haven County because that is were we do most of our sequencing (primary catchment area of Yale diagnostic labs). We are working to increase sequencing from across the state.
3/3 In addition to the variants of concern - B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 - we've detected several *variants of interest*.
B.1.429, first reported in CA, may be increasing in frequency.
B.1.525 and B.1.526 (first reported from NY) are of interest because they have the E484K mutation.
