Resumen
We developed a genomic surveillance program for realtime
monitoring of severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs)
in Uruguay. We report on a PCR method for SARSCoV-
2 VOCs, the surveillance workflow, and multiple independent
introductions and community transmission of
the SARS-CoV-2 P.1 VOC in Uruguay.
