Governor Cuomo says a new CDC report is shedding light on the origins of COVID.
He says the CDC is reporting several different strains of COVID in the United States.
He added that when the virus first appeared, health experts were focused upon COVID cases on the West Coast where the virus appeared to originate in China.
Those cases, seen in Washington and California, appeared about six weeks before those on the East Coast.
Federal health officials note the COVID strain that appeared on the East Coast did not appear to have originated in China, rather it came to the U.S. directly from Europe.
