WGSsuggested: NoneThese raw files were converted, demultiplexed to fastq file using bcl2fastq (Illumina, v2.20) and were aligned against the SARS-CoV-2 reference genome (NC_045512.2). bcl2fastqsuggested: (bcl2fastq , RRID:SCR_015058)(https://www.gisaid.org). 2.2.2 Construction of phylogenetic tree: Using consensus FASTA generated from BaseSpace pipeline, the phylogenetic tree was build following the Nextstrain protcol for genetic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 using the reference genome of SARS-CoV-2 isolate named Wuhan-Hu-1 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_045512.2) (8). BaseSpacesuggested: (BaseSpace, RRID:SCR_011881)2.5 Statistical analysis: Data recorded in the PIF was digitized for analysis using SPSS version 15 (IBM, Bangalore, South Asia).
