Clade distribution in all continents including India. The clade distribution pattern revealed that over time, the prevalence of the GH clade was higher in Africa, Asia, North America, and Oceania in March 2021–first week of April 2021 (period II) as compared to March 2020–February 2021 (period I). Similarly, in the second period, infectivity of the GRY and GR clades were higher in the European and South American populations respectively. The analysis clearly revealed an increased percentage of the G clade in the second period of infection as compared to the first period in India.
