The CDC COVID-19 variant tracker is reporting the B.1.1.7 coronavirus variant has reached all 50 states in the U.S.
Experts have indicated that these numbers are likely an underestimate due to a lack of surveillance in some areas. Health officials have warned that variants, which have a higher transmissibility than the original strain of COVID-19, pose a threat to the progress gained in the pandemic. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, stopped short of pinning the blame on variants for a recent rise in cases among younger demographics but said they were likely part of the "many moving parts."More Related News
