AI Article Synopsis
- An epidemiologic study analyzed 4,210 cases of COVID-19 in Panama from March 9 to April 16, 2020, alongside genetic analysis of 313 new virus genomes.
- Despite the implementation of containment measures, the reproduction number (R) decreased but was still insufficient to fully stop the spread of the virus.
- The findings suggest that while measures helped slow the spread, they did not eliminate it entirely in Panama.
Article 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 R and R, they did not interrupt virus spread in the country.
