  In this work, 37 haplotypes of spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 from Hong Kong, China, were used. All sequences were publicly available on the platform of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and were analyzed for their Molecular Variance (AMOVA), haplotypic diversity, mismatch, demographic and spatial expansion, molecular diversity and time of evolutionary divergence. The results suggested that there was a low diversity among haplotypes, with very low numbers of transitions, transversions, indels-type mutations and with total absence of population expansion perceived in the neutrality tests. The estimators used in this study supported the uniformity among all the results found and confirm the evolutionary conservation of the gene, as well as its protein product, a fact that stimulates the use of therapies based on neutralizing antibodies, such as vaccines based on..
