On the 7th local time, officials in Texas and Connecticut announced that they had found a mutant strain of the novel coronavirus in their state, which was the same as the new strain found in the United Kingdom.
The Harris County Public Health Department of Texas said in a statement that the infected person was a male between the ages of 30 and 40 and had no travel history, which means that the mutant novel coronavirus has spread locally.
Connecticut Governor Lamont also said that state health officials have confirmed two cases of mutant COVID-19.
The two patients, aged between 15 and 25, were reported to have left Connecticut for Ireland and New York, respectively.” Gene sequencing of the virus shows that the two cases are not related,” Lamont said.

In addition to Texas and Connecticut, California, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania are also included.
