Early transmission dynamics, spread, and genomic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 in Panama. 2020-08-04 .txt text/plain 2737 160 52 The protocol EC-CNBI-202-04-46 was approved by the National Committee on Bioethics of Research of Panama to use de-identified epidemiological data to analyze SARS-CoV-2 transmission and spread, as well as to sequence the complete genome of SARS-CoV-2 from Gorgas Memorial Institute of Health Studies (GMI)'s confirmed cases. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.31.20160929 doi: medRxiv preprint Panama detected the first SARS-CoV-2 infection one month after Brazil 15 , being the 11 th country with confirmed cases in Latin America (Supplementary Figure 2) . To characterize the distribution of genetic lineages in Panama, we generated 313 SARS-CoV-2 sequences, which represents 7.4 % of the total confirmed cases by April 15 th (Supplementary Figure 4A Figure 4A ). . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.31.20160929 doi: medRxiv preprint Panama has the most confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections and associated fatalities in Central America, although control strategies were rapidly implemented at the beginning of the outbreak. ./cache/cord-337753-olc00glo.txt ./txt/cord-337753-olc00glo.txt
