wikipedia - 22 Dec 2020Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 are common: over 4,000 mutations have been detected in the spike glycoprotein alone, according to the COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium.[9] The focus on mutations is a common way to track the spread of the virus. As well as showing, for example, that SARS-CoV-2 arrived in the UK from over 1,000 separate incidents, it also shows that a variant with the mutation G614 has completely replaced the previous D614.[10]
