New York State has confirmed its first case of the new variant of coronavirus that was initially discovered in the United Kingdom, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday.

The case was identified in a 60-year-old man from Saratoga County who had no travel history, Cuomo said. 

The man, who is now recovering, worked at a jewelry store where three other people have also tested positive for COVID-19. The state is investigating whether those cases were caused by the new strain.
