Lineage counts by local authority and week for England
last updated
The dataset below aggregates genomes sequenced at the Wellcome Sanger Institute to monitor COVID-19 dynamics. Lineages are assigned using pangolin, and the number of each lineage is enumerated by week and local authority. Dates reflect the date on which the sample was collected.
This dataset includes only genomes sequenced for general surveillance, excluding those sequenced in special studies or with a known recent travel history.
To avoid disclosure, lineage data for a specific week in a specific local authority may be suppressed if either the number of total coronavirus cases (whether sequenced or not) is very low in that local authority in that week, or if a particular lineage is present at a very substantially greater proportion than in the country as a whole.
