Genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 reveals multiple lineages and early spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Lombardy, Italy

The Lombardy region of Italy was heavily affected early in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Here, the authors use whole genome sequencing and show that there were multiple introductions into the region, with transmission occurring before the first case was detected.
