We characterize variant diversity, amino acid mutation frequency, functionality and associations with COVID-19 infections in one of the largest datasets of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences collected from wastewater in the New York metropolitan area. Variant diversity differed within parts of the New York City sewershed and between wastewater sludge and influent samples. P314L, D614G and T3255I occurred in >95% of wastewater samples. Enhanced infectivity, transmissibility and escape from antibody neut...
