Proposal for two B.1 sublineages with defining mut: G161797A (Colombia); and G149818A (Germany,Colombia)

Hello, everyone. Cases have been dropping, but we continue sequencing at INSColombia.
I see two likely B.1 sublineages with unique mutations related to cases in Colombia. I would find a designation useful to describe their circulation appropriately and continue surveillance. I appreciate your great work and thank any comments.

Thanks, Hector! These proposal look sensible. Apologies that our response here has been a bit delayed, but we'll move on this right after the holidays!
