Coronavirus is mutating as it moves around the US — here’s what that means for you

Specifically, a group of international scientists looked at samples from 36 COVID-19 patients in nine California counties and the Grand Princess cruise ship from late January to mid-March. Through a phylogenetic analysis — which is when researchers study the evolutionary relationships of genes — they found at least seven different SARS-CoV-2 lineages, including the WA1 strain which has been associated with Washington state.

This is one of several studies that have taken a look at the genomics of the virus in various regions across the country to better understand its spread.
