Effective reproduction number (Rt) of HFN501Y is higher than not-HFN501Y but similarly affected by the level of stringency. (a) Statistical comparison between the bootstrap distribution of the Rt of SARS-CoV-2 bearing (blue) or not (grey) the HF mutation N501Y (HF or notHF, respectively) in different levels of stringency. Points represent the mean and the lines represent the 25 and 75 percentiles of the bootstrap distribution. **Means p-value lesser than 0.05 and ns means p-value higher than 0.05. (b) Plot of the change of Rt in the time. Change of Rt was calculated as the Rt 14 days after the day of interest subtracted to the Rt mean between the day of interest and 13 days after that day. Grey bars are showing the level of stringency. Colors represent the same as in (a).
