Dear Editor, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARCoV2) is a new emerging coronavirus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19 is a pandemic and attacks more than 200 countries around the world. Within 4 months, more than millions of world populations are infected. Due to the rapid spreading, an important consideration in clinical microbiology is the possible genetic variation of the new virus1. Here, the authors would like to share observations from Thailand, the second country that the COVID-19 occurs in global pandemic timeline2.
