The emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants in late 2020 and early 2021 raised alarm worldwide and prompted reassessment of the management, surveillance, and projected future of COVID-19. Mutations that confer competitive advantages by increasing transmissibility or immune evasion have been associated with the localized dominance of single variants. Thus, elucidating the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics among novel variants is essential for understanding the trajectory of the COVID-19 pa...
