New researches suggested that the coronavirus began to circulate in the New York area by mid-February and that the virus came to the area are mainly from Europe, media reports showed.
Harm van Bakel, a geneticist at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who co-wrote a study awaiting peer review, was quoted as saying that the majority of the travelers who brought in the virus were European, according to a report published by New York Times on Wednesday.
A separate team at NYU Grossman School of Medicine came to strikingly similar conclusions, despite studying a different group of cases, said the report.
Both teams analyzed genomes from coronaviruses taken from New Yorkers starting in mid-March.
Another report by Bloomberg said that researchers at NYU Langone Health analyzed 75 samples from patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 at New York-area hospitals last month. And about two-thirds of the samples appeared to have European origins.
The virus appeared to have been imported to the city from the United Kingdom and several European countries, including France, Austria, and the Netherlands, said Adriana Heguy, director of the Genome Technology Center at the medical center.
From one case in which Heguy's team sequenced a Long Island resident without travel history, the researchers found that the viral genome shows a correlation with a strain circulating in England, which indicated that the patient had contact with someone who carried the virus from the UK.
The research also revealed that daily flights from Europe were a way to bring the virus to the city.
As of Wednesday, over 14,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the United States, as the number of infections surged to 420,000, data from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University showed.
