design: 200ul of UTM buffer in which the swab was stored was used for total RNA extraction using High Pure Viral Nucleic Acid kit. 2 ul of the using the QIAwave RNA plus mini kit. The RNA was used to prepare Illumina library using the Illumina Stranded Total RNA Prep with Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome kit (Illumina, USA) This was sequenced at Psomagen Inc (USA) on an Illumina NovaseqX Psomagen Inc (USA).
