TL;DR: The development of A(H7N9) variants resistant to both classes of available antiviral drugs emphasises the importance of development of drugs with diff erent mechanisms of action, including therapeutic antibodies, and especially of testing antiviral combinations in severe infl uenza to enhance potency and reduce emergence of resistance.

TL;DR: This report highlights SARS-CoV-2 transmission through travel, importance of testing, and quarantine post-travel to prevent transmission of new strains, as well as recording detailed patients’ metadata to inform policies on restricting travel from destinations where new highly transmissible variants have emerged.
