US health officials "The British corona variant may have been introduced...it has not been confirmed"

Amid an emergency from the UK corona19 strain, U.S. health officials have warned that the strain has not yet been identified in the United States, but is already spreading.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the UK Corona 19 variant was not identified through gene sequencing in the U.S. on the 22nd at local time, but only about 51,000, only 0.3% of 17 million infection cases in the U. He said it had gone through the process.

"Considering that only a very small number of US infected people have gone through the analysis process, the variant has not been found, but may already be in the US."

"The strain is widespread among infected people in the UK, and given the travel between the UK and the US, the possibility of inflow increases."

New York State, the gateway to the U.S. from Europe, has recently entered into travel restrictions, requiring pre-screening for COVID-19 passengers on aircraft from the UK.
