New York City (NYC) has emerged as one of the epicenters of the current SARS
-CoV-2 pandemic. To identify the early transmission events underlying the
rapid spread of the virus in the NYC metropolitan area, we sequenced the
virus causing COVID-19 in patients seeking care at the Mount Sinai Health
System. Phylogenetic analysis of 84 distinct SARS-CoV2 genomes indicates
multiple, independent but isolated introductions mainly from Europe and
other parts of the United States. Moreover, we find evidence for community
transmission of SARS-CoV-2 as suggested by clusters of related viruses found
in patients living in different neighborhoods of the city. |
