Cuomo pointed to a recent CDC report as proof of one of his long-held assertions: that the coronavirus came to New York, was once the epicenter of a global outbreak, and came primarily from Europe rather than China.Slammed President Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus, calling the pandemic in the United States a "virus of divided America and federal incompetence."

"Although travel restrictions are an important mitigation strategy, by the time the European restrictions were implemented, importation and community transmission of (the coronavirus) had already occurred (in New York)," according to the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published on Friday.

The department examined specimens taken from people who went to the emergency room with flu-like symptoms. Of the 544 specimens tested, 36, or 6.6%, were positive for the novel coronavirus. Doing additional genetic sequencing of the samples, the strain of the virus more closely resembled the one circulating in Europe, rather than the one circulating in China. That means that the novel coronavirus was likely introduced to New York through Europe or by travelers from other US locations, the report said.
