Abstract
Peru has become one of the countries with the highest mortality rate from the current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. To investigate early transmission event and genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 isolates circulating in Peru, we analyzed a total of 3472 SARS-CoV-2 genomes, from which 149 ones were from Peru. Phylogenomic analysis revealed multiple and independent introductions of the virus mainly from Europe and Asia. In addition, we found evidence for community-driven transmission of SARS-CoV-2 as suggested by clusters of related viruses found in patients living in different Peru regions.
