Abstract
As the coronavirus pandemic continues, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sequence data are required to inform vaccine efforts. We provide SARS-CoV-2 sequence data from South Sudan and document the dominance of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.525 (Eta variant) during the country's second wave of infection.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; South Sudan; coronavirus disease; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; variants; viruses; zoonoses.
