Potential new lineage in France

by Etienne Simon-Loriere
Description:

Sub-lineage of: A
Earliest sequence: 2020-12-22 (Oman)
Most recent sequence: 2021-02-02 (France)
Countries circulating: France at least, Spain?

This hospital based cluster was noted because of a spike of cases. We note 9 changes on this branch, including the 69-70del, N501T (not Y) and H655Y. (This variant is picked up by the qPCR S drop). More sequencing is underway to follow up. A Pango lineage designation would help exchanges.

Thanks Etienne - this looks interesting. Can you provide a tree graphic with tip labels?
