But, the question of how long the virus had already been present in the United States before that time has remained unknown. Now, a team of researchers has reconstructed some of the early transmissions of the virus. By analyzing the genomic sequences of SARS-CoV-2 samples from infected patients in Washington State, they suggest that most early SARS-CoV-2 infections derive from a single introduction in late January or early February, sparking rapid community transmission of the virus that went undetected for several weeks before this community spread became evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">For More Information: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.genengnews.com\/news\/early-sars-cov-2-transmission-reconstructed-using-genomics\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.genengnews.com\/news\/early-sars-cov-2-transmission-reconstructed-using-genomics\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/370\/6516\/571\">https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/370\/6516\/571<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors:Trevor Bedford, PhD The news of infections caused by a novel coronavirus, and the everyday use of the names SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, became widespread around February.
