I checked again and it doesn't seem so. It's about mutation D614G which was the mutation that caused first wave of the pandemic globally in the spring 2020 and probably beginning of second wave in the autumn before it was overshadowed by British variant B.1.1.7
It was milder and more easily transmissible than the original virus variant that was detected in China and that's what the article you cited is about.
B.1.1.7 appears to be both more easily transmissible and more deadly than D614G.
