Popis: During routine industrial quarantine/premobilization procedures, four individuals who recently traveled from the Philippines tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Subsequent genomic analysis showed that all four were infected with a relatively rare Variant of Interest (P.3, Theta) derived from a single origin. This demonstrates the importance of on-going genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2.
