Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an RNA virus that evolves over time, leading to new variants. In the current study, we assessed the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in the Dominican Republic. A total of 1149 SARS-CoV-2 complete genome nucleotide sequences from samples collected between March 2020 and mid-February 2022 in the Dominican Republic were obtained from the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) database.

- - A new strain of SARS-CoV-2, called lineage XAM (Omicron BA.1.1/BA.2.9), was identified in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
- - This discovery highlights the significant differences in SARS-CoV-2 variants across different regions.
- - It emphasizes the critical need for regional genomic surveillance to monitor these variations effectively.
