3-29-20 Genomic characterization and phylogenetic analysis of SARS‐COV‐2 in Italy
-Gianguglielmo Zehender and team, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences Luigi Sacco, University of Milan, Milan, Italy
In conclusion, our data show that the SARS‐CoV‐2 isolates infecting the Italian patients involved in the early epidemic in northern Italy and those isolated from other European and Latin American patients reporting contacts with Italy, are closely related to the strain isolated during one of the first European clusters observed in Bavaria in late January 2020.12 On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis alone, we cannot exclude possibly multiple introductions in Germany and Italy from China (or other countries), but the epidemiological data showing that the first cases in Germany preceded the first cases in Italy by almost a month suggest that the strain entered Germany before Italy. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jmv.25794

4-9-20 car parts supplier Webasto Group was thrust under a global microscope after it disclosed that one of its employees, a Chinese woman, caught the virus and brought it to Webasto headquarters. There it was passed to colleagues….….The woman’s parents, from Wuhan, had visited her before she travelled on Jan. 19 to Stockdorf, the paper said….case #1 - the first person in Germany to be infected by the Chinese woman - sat next to her in a meeting in a small room on Jan. 20, the scientists wrote. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-germany-defences-i/pass-the-salt-the-minute-details-that-helped-germany-build-virus-defences-idUSKCN21R1DB
