Whole-Genome Sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 from Quarantine Hotel Outbreak

Hotel quarantine for international travelers has been used to prevent coronavirus disease spread into Australia. A quarantine hotel–associated community outbreak was detected in South Australia. Real-time genomic sequencing enabled rapid confirmation tracking the outbreak to a recently returned tra...
