SARS-CoV-2 introductions to Europe and the United States

Caption

This schematic map shows early and apparently 'dead-end' introductions of SARS-CoV-2 to Europe and the US (dashed arrows). Successful dispersals between late January and mid-February are shown with solid arrows: from Hubei Province, China to Northern Italy, from China to Washington State, and later from Europe (as the Italian outbreak spread more widely) to New York City and from China to California.
