Geographical distribution of SARS-CoV-2 clades with respect to disease epidemiology parameters.
| Geographic region | L | S | V | G | GH | GR | GV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Countries showing above median number of cases | 1.2% | 1.9% | 1.5% | 16.1% | 21.9% | 32.8% | 23.5% |
| Countries showing below median number of cases | 2.1% | 4.4% | 1.7% | 12.7% | 16.1% | 45.8% | 10.4% |
| Countries showing above median number of deaths | 1.3% | 1.9% | 1.5% | 16.1% | 21.9% | 32.6% | 23.5% |
| Countries showing below median number of deaths | 1.0% | 4.4% | 1.7% | 12.2% | 16.1% | 47.5% | 10.3% |
| Countries showing above median CFRs | 1.3% | 2.1% | 1.7% | 15.4% | 22.2% | 34.3% | 21.8% |
| Countries showing below median CFRs | 1.2% | 2.1% | 0.5% | 17.7% | 17.3% | 32.5% | 24.7% |
Chi-square test showed that the distribution bias of all clades among the groups of countries showing above median and below median values for all disease epidemiology parameters was statistically significant (P-value < 0.05).
