The US CDC has promoted B.1.427 and B.1.429, first identified in California, to be variants of concern. Both feature the L452R mutation (with D614G). The CDC estimate that they have around 20% greater transmissibility than earlier variant types (based on the study DOI: 10.1101/2021.03.07.21252647). Notably they also have introduced a variant of high consequence, though that category is currently unencumbered by entries.
