Here, we report the nearly complete genome sequences of nine SARS-CoV-2 variants with the D614G mutation. These viruses were detected from various infected individuals with different levels of severity from Pahang, Malaysia. In addition, this study described the presence of lineage B.1.351 as a type of variant of concern (VOC), lineage B.1.466.2, and lineage B.1.524 as a local variant.
