ABSTRACT
The effect of freeze-thaw on SARS-CoV-2 viral viability is not well established. We isolated virus from 31 split clinical samples cultured fresh or after a 7- or 17/18-day freeze. We found that freeze-thaw did not significantly affect viral culture isolation. Therefore, frozen samples may be used to assess SARS-CoV-2 infectiousness.
