Big take-aways from @nextstrain #nCoV2019 sit rep (https://nextstrain.org/narratives/ncov/sit-rep/2020-01-23):
- single introduction (or very small number) into humans in Nov or early Dec 2019
- ongoing human-to-human spread since this point
- R0 between 1.5 and 2.5 indicating rapid growth in the Nov-Jan period
We've used interactive @nextstrain narratives (which I'm super proud of) to explain the current nCoV situation 👇
Huge thanks to all the groups sharing data which has made this analysis possible. https://twitter.com/nextstrain/status/1220498255500308480
Here's our genomic analysis of nCoV spread using interactive nextstrain narratives.

We intend to issue updated situation reports as new data is produced and shared.
