Rationale: SARS-CoV-2 has been identified as a highly infective and contagious viral infection.The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been spread worldwide and affected more than 210 countries.Globally, the fast spread of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants has been mostly attributed to international travel.

Patient concerns: We are reporting the genomic evidence of SARS-CoV-2 Eta VOI read more among two international travelers.Both travelers were males from Nigeria aged 24 and 34 years and both were asymptomatic.Diagnosis: The nasopharyngeal swab samples were in both travelers positive by real-time RT-PCR followed by COVIDSeq-NGS.

Interventions: Paracetamol 3 times daily for 5 days.Outcomes: Patient recovered cga 200 to cga 510 adapter completely within 10 days and discharged after 14 days of quarantine duration.Lessons: This report highlights genomic variation of SARS-CoV-2 among the travelers.

For managing the present health crisis, molecular identification of viral variants present in different geographical locations will be very helpful.
