New Research Maps COVID-19 Dispersal Dynamics in New York's First Wave of Epidemic

Caption

Spatio-temporal analysis of viral genomes that help determine when and where SARS-CoV-2 dispersal occurred during spring of 2020 in the greater New York City area. It shows that most peripheral samples are directly connected to the NYC area rather than clustered together, indicating that samples collected outside NYC likely correspond to distinct dispersal events originating from the city area.
