COVID-19 Variants of Concern in Australia, September 2020- April 2021

Variants of concern have been sequenced in Australia, through introduction via returned travellers (3). It has been shown that disease transmission and epidemic severity are directly related to variant emergence (82). It has also been shown that the mutations related to these variants confer resista...
