Popis: The management of coronavirus disease 2019 has become more complex due to the expansion of available therapies. The presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 variants and mutations further complicates treatment due to their differing susceptibilities to therapies. Here we outline the use of real-time whole genome sequencing to detect persistent infection, evaluate for mutations confering resistance to treatments, and guide treatment decisions.
