Local COVID-19 Roundup: Slow Vaccine Rollout and UK Variant Detected
Elizabeth Kim, senior editor for Gothamist, and Karen Yi, WNYC reporter covering New Jersey, talk about the latest COVID news in our area including the vaccine rollout and the first case of the UK variant identified in New York State.
@BrianLehrer can your guest describe in what way the new variant is more contagious? Does it travel further or live longer in the air? Linger on surfaces?
