The dissemination of cases of the new SAR-COV-2 coronavirus represents a serious public health problem for Latin America and Peru. For this reason, it is important to characterize the genome of the isolates that circulate in Latin America. To characterize the complete genome of first samples of the virus circulating in Peru, we amplified seven overlapping segments of the viral genome by RT-PCR and sequenced using Miseq platform. The results indicate that the genomes of the Peruvian SARS-COV-2 samples belong to the genetic groups G and S. Likewise, a phylogenetic and MST analysis of the isolates confirm the introduction of multiple isolates from Europe and Asia that, after border closing, were transmitted locally in the capital and same regions of the country. These Peruvian samples (56%) grouped into two clusters inside G clade and share B.1.1.1 lineage. The characterization of these isolates must be considered for the use and design of diagnostic tools, and effective treatment and vaccine formulations.
