Title: Environmental drivers of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 transmission in England, October to December 2020 Cord-id: 8nxe615b Document date: 2021_3_12
ID: 8nxe615b
Snippet: Previous work has shown that environment affects SARS-CoV-2 transmission, but it is unclear whether emerging strains show similar responses. Here we show that lineage B.1.1.7 spread with greater transmission in colder and more densely populated parts of England. We also find evidence of B.1.1.7's transmission advantage at warmer temperatures versus other strains, implying that spring conditions may facilitate B.1.1.7's invasion in Europe and across the Northern hemisphere, undermining the effect
