Interesting article on Victoria's coronavirus cluster using genomic sequencing.

I thought the following article was interesting. The article shows the clusters based on their genomic sequence which as I read it means they've come from the same source. From looking at the number of cases in Victoria this research was done in early April when there were a little over 1,200 cases. The data is from about 75% of the cases.

This data was before the largest cluster in Victoria occurred which occurred at Cedar Meats. If would be interesting to see how the clusters would look with more recent data.

The following article was used to estimate the date from the number of cases in Victoria.

I hope others find this article interesting as well.
