Influence of SARS-CoV-2 variants on COVID-19 epidemiological and clinical profiles: a comparative analysis of two waves of cases
The profile of COVID-19 in southern Bahia differed when analyzing two distinct waves of the pandemic in the region. These differences are likely related to the variants, which may differ in transmissibility and virulence, thereby altering the dynamics of the pandemic. This underscores the importance of genomic surveillance in better understanding the behavior of viral infections.
