Figure 3. Gantt chart showing the priority category (denoted by colored rectangles) for each SARS-CoV-2 lineage at each monthly prioritization between May 2022 and February 2023. The frequency of each lineage in global surveillance data is shown with black circles for each month. For lineages with a frequency <0.1%, but which are observed at least once in a given month, a small black point is shown. Exact matches to sequence definitions as provided in US National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases SARS-CoV-2 Assessment of Viral Evolution Early Detection consortium prioritization spreadsheets are required for a sequence to count as a match to a lineage. Appendix 3 Figure 3 is an analogous figure for all 21 monthly prioritizations, back to April 2021.
