A new variant of the coronavirus has been detected in
New York City.
The variant carries
mutations that may help it evade the body's natural immune response and
antibody treatments.
That research was conducted
separately by Columbia University and Caltech.
Neither study has been
peer-reviewed yet.
One of the mutations is the
same change found in the variant first seen in South Africa.
