Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-42685-6, published online 02 November 2023

The original version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 1. In panels a and b the 3 black stars in each panel identifying the patients infected by a single strain were missing.  These have now been added in panel a and b in Fig 1.

In addition, in the Result section of the main text the tabs labelled “Table 1” and “Table 2” in Supplementary Data 6 were incorrectly referred to as “Supplementary Table 1” and Supplementary Table 2”; these are now referred to as “Table 1 in Supplementary Data 6” in the first and fourth sentence of the fifth paragraph, and “Table 2 in Supplementary Data 6” in the fifth sentence of the seventh paragraph.

These errors have been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.
