Summary
Key Points: 
  • Data for the most recent reporting week have been excluded, as they may be incomplete.
  • The proportion of variants is only reliable when sequencing capacity is adequate (500 or 10% of total samples).
  • For TESSy data, no proportion of variants has been estimated where there is no reliable denominator available.
  • In addition, SARS-CoV-2 lineages B.1.617.1, B.1.617.2, and B.1.617.3, first reported in India in December 2020, have been increasingly detected in other countries.
