The emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States (U.S.) went largely undetected due to inadequate testing. New Orleans experienced one of the earliest and fastest accelerating outbreaks, coinciding with Mardi Gras. To gain insight into the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S. and how large-scale events accelerate transmission, we sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes during the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in Louisiana. We show that SARS-CoV-2 in Louisiana had limited diversity compared to other U.S. states and that one introduction of SARS-CoV-2 led to almost all of the early transmission in Louisiana. By analyzing mobility and genomic data, we show that SARS-CoV-2 was already present in New Orleans before Mardi Gras, and the festival dramatically accelerated transmission. Our study provides an understanding of how superspreading during large-scale events played a key role during the early outbreak in the U.S. and can greatly accelerate epidemics.

美国出现早期 SARS-CoV-2 流行病

由于检测不足,美国 (US) 出现的 COVID-19 疫情在很大程度上未被发现。新奥尔良经历了最早和最快的疫情爆发之一,恰逢狂欢节。为了深入了解 SARS-CoV-2 在美国的出现以及大规模事件如何加速传播,我们对路易斯安那州第一波 COVID-19 疫情期间的 SARS-CoV-2 基因组进行了测序。我们发现,与美国其他州相比,路易斯安那州的 SARS-CoV-2 多样性有限,并且 SARS-CoV-2 的一次引入导致了路易斯安那州几乎所有的早期传播。通过分析流动性和基因组数据,我们发现 SARS-CoV-2 在狂欢节之前就已经出现在新奥尔良,而狂欢节极大地加速了传播。我们的研究让人们了解了大规模事件期间的超级传播如何在美国早期疫情爆发期间发挥了关键作用,并且可以极大地加速流行病的传播。
