- [Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] A phylogenetic analysis of 11,422 publicly available whole genome SARS-CoV-2 sequences found a minimum of 287 separate introductions of SARS-CoV-2 into Washington State in samples collected through September 2020. The majority of introductions into Washington came from a source within the US (61%, range 55-65%) while 39% (range 35-45%) likely came from outside the US.
