    Snippet: Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the public life in most European countries stopped almost completely due to measures against the spread of the virus. Efforts to limit the number of new infections are threatened by the advent of new variants of the SARS-COV-2 virus, most prominent the B.1.1.7 strain with higher infectivity. In this article we consider a basic two-strain SIR model to explain the spread of those variants in Germany on small time scales. For a linearized version of the model
    Document: Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the public life in most European countries stopped almost completely due to measures against the spread of the virus. Efforts to limit the number of new infections are threatened by the advent of new variants of the SARS-COV-2 virus, most prominent the B.1.1.7 strain with higher infectivity. In this article we consider a basic two-strain SIR model to explain the spread of those variants in Germany on small time scales. For a linearized version of the model we calculate relevant variables like the time of minimal infections or the dynamics of the share of variants analytically. These analytical approximations and numerical simulations are in a good agreement to data reported by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Germany.
