Abstract
This report describes the isolation, molecular characterisation and phylogenetic analysis of the first three complete genomes of SARS‐CoV‐2 isolated from three patients involved in the first outbreak of COVID‐19 in Lombardy, Italy. Early molecular epidemiological tracing suggests that SARS‐CoV‐2 was present in Italy weeks before the first reported cases of infection.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
