Abstract

Here, we present the complete coding sequences of two severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains that were recovered from a nasopharyngeal swab from a female patient and the second viral passage in cell culture. After testing, both strains were identified as BA.5.2.20, a subvariant of Omicron.
