Coding-Complete Genome Sequences of Two SARS-CoV-2 Isolates from Early Manifestations of COVID-19 in Israel.

ABSTRACT: We announce the genome sequences of two strains of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolated in Israel, one imported by a traveler who returned from Japan and the second strain collected from a patient infected by a traveler returning from Italy. The sequences obtained are valuable as early manifestations for future follow-up of the local spread of the virus in Israel.
