Main Article

Figure 1

Maximum-likelihood tree of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha and Delta variants during large nationwide outbreak of COVID-19, Vietnam, 2021. Complete coding sequences of Alpha variant viruses circulating in Vietnam in 2021 are shown. Phylogenetic clusters were named accordingly to community clusters recorded during the study period shown in Appendix Figure 1). Numbers along branches are bootstrap values. Cluster II was linked with a traveler from Japan (Appendix Figure 1). Outgroup was the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type strain (GenBank accession no. NC_0455122).
