Spike protein D614G mutation was not found in any genomes during the first wave, which mainly involved travelers from mainland China or other parts of Asia, or the linked local cases. The majority of genomes from locally-acquired cases (91%) during this third wave belong to a cluster HK1, a unique cluster within the GR clade, which is characterized by 4 non-synonymous mutations (nsp3 A85V, nsp15 A231V, spike protein S12F, NP A12G) and 1 synonymous mutation (NP C29144T). Two unique SARS-CoV-2 clusters have been identified during this large summer outbreak in Hong Kong shortly after the easing of social distancing policies. ./cache/cord-269973-sntnmqqd.txt ./txt/cord-269973-sntnmqqd.txt
