Title: An 81 base-pair deletion in SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a identified from sentinel surveillance in Arizona (Jan-Mar 2020)
  • Document date: 2020_4_22

    Snippet: Arizona. Individuals presenting with respiratory symptoms (ILI) were tested for influenza A and 31 B virus (Alere BinaxNOW). Subsequently, we tested influenza-negative nasopharyngeal (NP) 32 swabs for SARS-CoV-2. We extracted total nucleic acid using the bioMérieux eMAG automated 33 platform and performed real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) assays specific for SARS-CoV-2 N and E 34 genes (2, 3). Out of 382 NP swabs collected from January 24, 2020 to Marc.....

Out of 382 NP swabs collected from January 24, 2020 to March 25, 2020, we 35 detected SARS-CoV-2 in 5 swabs in the week of March 16 to 19 (Figure 1 ). This corresponds 36 to prevalence of 1.31%. Given the estimated 1 -14-day incubation period for COVID-19, it is 37 possible that the spike in cases might be related to university spring-break holiday travel (March 38 8 -15) as previously seen in other outbreaks (4, 5). 39
