Covid-19 Variants around the World

Overview of Variants in Countries: This dataset contains, the proportion of total number of sequences (not cases), over time, that fall into defined variant groups. Countries are displayed if they have at least 70 sequences in any variant being tracked, over a period of at least 4 weeks. Countries are ordered by total number of sequences in tracked variants.

It is worth interpreting with caution:Not all samples are representative - sometimes some samples are more likely to be sequenced than others (for containing a particular mutation, for example)The last data point - this often has incomplete data and may change as more sequences come inFrequencies that are very 'jagged' - this often indicates low sequencing numbers and so may not be truly representative of the countryIn many places, sampling may not be equal across the region: samples may only cover one area or certain areas. It's important not to assume frequencies shown are necessarily representative.
