We’re excited to share our newly published study, “Dispersal history of SARS‐CoV‐2 in Galicia, Spain,” in the Journal of Medical Virology. Our research used genetic data from coronavirus samples collected in Galicia to trace how COVID-19 spread throughout the region in 2020. We found that the virus entered Galicia multiple times from different regions and countries during the early stages of the pandemic. After these introductions, local transmission became the main driver of cases. These findings highlight the importance of quick response and local health measures to control outbreaks. You can read the full article for more details on our methods and results.
