Two more sequences seem to be from the same outbreak, from different sequencers. In this case, one sequence is labeled as index patient and also Kuchica, matching Patient 1 from above.
The other sequence is labeled Skopje and "infected healthcare worker", matching the description from the papers above. So geolocation and dates could be narrowed for these as well.
