Abstract

Recent reports suggest that some SARS-CoV-2 genetic variants, such as B.1.1.7, may be more transmissible, and are quickly spreading around the world. As the emergence of more transmissible variants may exacerbate the pandemic, we provide public health guidance for increased surveillance and measures to reduce community transmission.
