Early Transmission Dynamics, Spread, and Genomic Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 in Panama.

ABSTRACT: We report an epidemiologic analysis of 4,210 cases of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and genetic analysis of 313 new near-complete virus genomes in Panama during March 9-April 16, 2020. Although containment measures reduced R₀ and R_t, they did not interrupt virus spread in the country.
