parental lineage has now been designated GJ.1

[FedeGueli]

Spotted a very recent sequence of this sublineage from NZL with S:R357T

There is an older one from NSW : EPI_ISL_17561122. A Sublineage to track , even if we never saw 357 position i n top lineages was quite good mutated to K in BA.2.12.2 and i think it was in some few other lineages we tracked without designation ( @c19850727 i remember something from you but maybe i m wrong)

[aviczhl2]

new countries are New Zealand, Italy, Singapore and Canada, so 12 countries.

23 seqs, Trinidad& Tobago, UK, Slovenia, Norway.

Before adding the label I want to wait some more time to see if while the philippines wave goes down then it slows exportations too. But i think this is one of the things to be proposed.

It got designated GJ.1.1 !! via cov-lineages/pango-designation@1e361de

@FedeGueli Please add a milestone for this.
