Main Article

Figure 4

The subtree of the global SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic tree in Figure 3 that contains all outbreak patient sequences contains few nonoutbreak sequences, showing that the outbreak in Hesse, Germany, 2021, was effectively contained. Three international sequences are included (2 from the United States, 1 from Austria), as well as 8 sequences that are from outside of the defined outbreak time period and 16 from outside the geographic region but still within Germany.
