Med J Aust 2020; doi: 10.5694/mja2.50569. Supplementary methods 1.1 Generation of SARS-CoV-2 cDNA 200μL aliquots from swab (nasopharyngeal in VTM), sputum, urine, faeces and serum samples were subjected to RNA extraction using the QIAamp 96 Virus QIAcube HT Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and eluted in 60μL. Reverse transcription was performed using the BioLine SensiFAST cDNA kit (Bioline, London, United Kingdom), total reaction mixture (20μL), containing 10μL RNA extract, 4μL 5x TransAmp buffer, 1μL reverse transcriptase and 5μL nuclease-free water. The reactions were incubated at 25°C for 10 min, 42°C for 15 min and 85°C for 5 min. 1.2 Nested SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing A PCR mixture containing 2μL cDNA, 1.6 μl 25mM MgCl2, 4μL 10x Qiagen Taq Buffer, 0.4μL 20mM dNTPs, 0.3μL Taq polymerase (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and 2μL of 10 μM primer pools as described2. Briefly, first round included the forward (5'-GGKTGGGAYTAYCCKAARTG-3') and reverse (5'-GGKTGGGAYTAYCCKAARTG-3') primers. Cycling conditions were 94°C for 10min, followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 30s, 48°C for 30s and 72°C for 40s, with a final extension of 72°C for 10 min.
