We report the genome sequences and the identification of genetic variations in eight clinical samples of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Samples were collected from nasopharyngeal swabs of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals from five care homes for elderly and infirm persons in Israel. The sequences obtained are valuable, as they carry a newly reported nonsynonymous substitution located within the nucleoprotein open reading frame.
