Genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in Rwanda reveals the importance of incoming travelers on lineage diversity

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 can inform regional transmission dynamics and inform public health interventions. Here, the authors sequence ~200 samples from Rwanda, identify shifts in predominating strains from May 2020 to February 2021, and infer geographic origins.
