In under 48 hours, genetic analysis was performed on a sample from a 61-year-old man from São Paulo, who returned from Italy with a confirmed diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
According to the researchers, this is the first complete genome analysis of the virus found in Lombardy, the heart of Italy’s coronavirus outbreak.
Preliminary genetic analysis indicated the genome differs by three mutations from the original Wuhan reference strain.
