New York - NYC was once the epicenter of covid-19 now faces a new threat.  Governor  Andrew Cuomo says that the state detects its first case of variant coronavirus - a more contagious type of coronavirus and spreads more rapidly.  This is the mutated form of coronavirus.  This has raised a concern about possible threats to the hospital capacity and accommodation if left uncontrolled and unmonitored.

Cuomo says on Monday that the variant coronavirus was detected in a man in his 60s who was from Albany and had not travelled recently. This suggest that the transmission of the disease is now on going within the state of New York.  So far, medical authorities in NY has carried out 5,000 test for the UK strain and has only detected 1 positive case. Cuomo says that this may be a "game changer"  if the new strain increases hospitalization and forces region to close down again.
