The new coronavirus mutation is spreading rapidly in these 2 states
- The coronavirus mutation that originated in the UK is in the U.S. and has already been found in dozens of states.
- The new strain is incredibly contagious and is already spreading rapidly in California and Florida.
- The new strain isn't deadlier than the original and isn't believed to be more resistant to existing COVID vaccines
Late last year, researchers in the UK discovered a coronavirus mutation that is far more contagious than the original strain. Researchers believe that the new COVID strain is largely responsible for the UK seeing a massive spike in coronavirus infections over the last few weeks. The new mutation eventually made its way to the U.S. and has already been found in more than a dozen states.
Looking ahead, some experts believe that the UK strain will become the dominant strain in the U.S. as soon as March. In the interim, there are two states where the new COVID mutation is spreading at a worrisome clip: California and Florida.
