Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This study reported SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing results from June 2021 to January 2022 from seven genome sequencing centers in Malaysia as part of the national surveillance program. METHODS: COVID-19 samples that tested positive by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction a...
