Abstract

Two coding-complete sequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were obtained from samples from two patients in Arkansas, in the southeastern corner of the United States. The viral genome was obtained using the ARTIC Network protocol and Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing.
