US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: New Mutant Coronavirus May Have Spread in the United States

On December 22 local time, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that the new mutated coronavirus, first discovered in the UK, may have spread in the US.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement: “Considering the continuous travel between the UK and the US, and the high prevalence of this mutant virus in the current infection of the new corona in the United Kingdom, it is likely that the new mutant corona virus has spread in the United States. “

Currently, the United States is not screening passengers leaving the United Kingdom for the new crown. According to Reuters, members of the new White House crown task force called for pre-flight inspections of passengers, but the Trump administration decided not to take any action for now. New York State Governor Cuomo has notified some airlines to require British passengers bound for New York to test negative for the novel coronavirus within 72 hours of departure. (Reporter Liu Xu)
