@Eddie Holmes B.1.1.4 + E484K tree: [shared file(s): image.png]

So a recent cluster (presumably one at the top is an independent instance).

Thanks! So, a recent cluster of B.1.1.4 that have independently acquired EriK? Perhaps from the US?

We are currently looking at whether 484K is starting to appear more frequently (in multiple backgrounds) than it did before or whether we just have more cases and more sequencing.

Yes, very interesting question. That we are seeing it in Australia is perhaps tell-tale.

For your case I would say it is irrelevant with respect to action that it is a recent cluster - just that it has 484K. I.e., itis not a 'cluster of concern' but it has a mutation of concern.
