There are many thousands of variants of SARS-CoV-2, which can be grouped into the much larger clades. [142] Several different clade nomenclatures have been proposed. Nextstrain divides the variants into five clades (19A, 19B, 20A, 20B, and 20C), while GISAID divides them into seven (L, O, V, S, G, GH, and GR). [143]

[8] This variant of SARS-CoV-2 has been named lineage P.1 and has 17 amino acid substitutions , ten of which in its spike protein, including these three designated to be of particular concern: N501Y , E484K and K417T.
