Monitoring of co-infections of SARS-CoV-2 variants is important to evaluate their clinical impact and the risk of emergence of recombinants. Here, the authors develop and validate a methodological pipeline to detect co-infections and apply it to samples from France in early 2022, when Delta and Omicron were co-circulating.
