Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ORF7a, the ortholog of SARS-CoV ORF7a, is a type I transmembrane protein and plays an important role in virus-host interactions. Deletion variants in ORF7a may influence virulence, but only a few such isolates have been reported. Here, we report 8 unique ORF7a deletion variants of 6 to 96 nucleotides in length identified from 2,726 clinical specimens collected in March of 2020.
