Herein, we analyzed full-length SARS-CoV-2 genomes from three patients in Istanbul together with their clinical findings. Sample Collection: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from unrelated patients and tested for SARS-CoV-2 presence as a standard care protocol for routine diagnosis in Umraniye Training and Research Hospital (UEAH), Istanbul. The physical examination in the emergency department revealed a body temperature of 36.8°C, blood pressure of 120/70 mm Hg, the pulse of 100 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute, and oxygen saturation of 97% while the patient was breathing ambient air. Herein, we report three virus genomes isolated in Istanbul for the first time together with patients' clinical findings. ./cache/cord-304340-9mrtic2k.txt ./txt/cord-304340-9mrtic2k.txt
