The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 P.1 lineage coincided with a surge in hospitalisations in the North region of Brazil. In the South region’s Rio Grande do Sul state, severe COVID-19 case numbers rose 3.8 fold in February 2021. During that month, at a COVID-19 referral hospital in this state, whole-genome sequencing of a subset of cases’ specimens (n = 27) revealed P.1 lineage SARS-CoV-2 in most (n = 24). Findings raise concerns regarding a possible association between lineage P.1 and rapid case and hospitalisation increases.

SARS-CoV-2 P.1 혈통의 출현은 브라질 북부 지역의 입원 급증과 일치했습니다. 남부 지역의 리오그란데두술(Rio Grande do Sul)주에서는 2021년 2월 심각한 COVID-19 사례 수가 3.8배 증가했습니다. n = 27) 대부분에서 P.1 계통 SARS-CoV-2를 나타냈다(n = 24). 결과는 계보 P.1과 급속한 사례 및 입원 증가 사이의 가능한 연관성에 대한 우려를 제기합니다.
