Data included on this page covers the period from 2020-02-26 to 2021-02-14 and may not be updated according to newest official numbers from Statens Serum Institut. Regional placement reflects where a person has official address, not necessarily where that person was infected. The data may also be subject to change.

Sequencing coverage

The plot below shows the number of cases with positive SARS-CoV-2 test, summarized per week (total height) for whole of Denmark and each region separately. Each bar is split into cases not sequenced (grey), sequenced cases that did not produce a genome of sufficient quality (yellow) and sequenced cases with a good quality genome (blue). A table with all numbers is located at the bottom of this page.

Lineages and mutations of interest

The plots below show the number of cases with a specific lineage or mutation of interest per week (only last 16 weeks shown) out of the total number of cases with a genome in paranthesis below. Top pane shows for all of Denmark, then for each Region. For international context on these and other interesting mutations read more here.

Y453F

The mutation Y453F in the spike (S) protein, referred to as the mink-related variant by the ecdc risk assesment seems to be a hallmark mutation selected for in mink. Therefore, viral sequences from humans carrying the Y453F mutation has likely at some point been through mink, although the exact mechanisms of transmission are still being investigated.

Genome coverage - table

The number of cases with a genome of sufficient quality relative to the total number of cases separated by “/” for each week (ISO standard) and region. The column Denmark (Sequenced) is the total number of cases sequenced including those that failed to produce a genome of sufficient quality.
