All data is on the web in a public way; In addition, the information was filtered by continent, country, region, clade, lineage, and sex from March 2020 to February 2021. <strong>Results:</strong> It was evidenced that the region with the most isolated genomes was Lima, the most frequent clade is GR, the viral lineage B.1.1 is the most frequent and persistent in time and most of the genomes were isolated from people of the female sex.<strong>Conclusions:</strong> The clade GR is common to all South American countries and the European and Asian continents, followed by clades G and GH with greater frequency; on the other hand, the most persistent viral lineage in Peru is B.1.1, this being not common with other countries.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana}, author={Saavedra Camacho, Johnny Leandro and Iglesias-Osores, Sebastian and Alcántara-Mimbela, Miguel and Córdova-Rojas, Lizbeth M.}, year={2021}, month={May} }
