With the emergence of new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants and the acquisition of novel mutations in existing lineages, the need to implement methods capable of monitoring viral dynamics arises. We report the emergence and spread of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant within the B.1.575 lineage, containing the E484K mutation in the spike protein (named B.1.575.2), in a region in northern Spain in May and June 2021.
