[Pre-print, not peer reviewed] Analysis of 40 Spanish wastewater samples obtained between April and October 2020 identified three variants with mutations in the spike protein not previously detected elsewhere and 7 non-synonymous spike protein mutations not previously detected in Spain. Three of these 7 mutations have been found at low frequencies in sequencing of genomes from clinical samples in Spain.
