New York and other hot spots are experiencing longer peaks of the coronavirus pandemic, while southern states may not get hit as hard as earlier projected, experts say.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sending teams to eight states to help bolster contact tracing efforts and contain the virus, a federal health official told CNN. Federal health officials will go to New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, North Dakota, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio. Their goal is to expand testing, which is crucial to reopening economies, and ensure those states remain at low levels of transmission, the official said.
