Zusammenfassung:	•First report on SARS-CoV-2 diversity from the Republic of Congo.•SARS-CoV-2 genomes carried the spike mutation D614G.•SARS-CoV-2 genomes found to belong to lineage B1 and Nextclade 20A and 20C.•Two separate introductions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the Republic of Congo. The aim of this study was to carry out whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), using samples collected from Congolese individuals between April and July 2020. Ninety-six samples were screened for SARS-CoV-2 using RT-PCR, and 19 samples with Ct values
