Peru has become one of the countries with the highest mortality rates from the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To investigate early transmission events and the genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 isolates circulating in Peru in the early COVID-19 pandemic, we analyzed 3472 viral genomes, of which 149 were from Peru. Phylogenomic analysis revealed multiple and independent introductions of the virus likely from Europe and Asia and a high diversity of genetic lineages circulating in Peru. 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 regions of Peru.
秘鲁已成为因严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引发的2019年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行而死亡率最高的国家之一。为调查COVID-19大流行早期在秘鲁传播的SARS-CoV-2毒株的早期传播事件及基因组多样性情况，我们分析了3472个病毒基因组，其中149个来自秘鲁。系统基因组学分析显示，该病毒可能有多次且独立地从欧洲和亚洲传入，并且在秘鲁流行的遗传谱系具有高度多样性。此外，正如在秘鲁不同地区居住的患者中发现的相关病毒簇所表明的那样，我们发现了SARS-CoV-2由社区驱动传播的证据。
