BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — It’s been expected for a while that the coronavirus would eventually change, and that’s happened in several locations overseas but one variant appears to have started here in California, as health officials want the public to remain cautious.
Virus variants are a normal occurrence. Viruses mutate as they find ways to spread and thrive. The latest variant appears to be more transmissible and to have started in California. But public health said a lot still needs to be learned.
