By Maria Medina, CBS San Francisco:

BAY AREA (KPIX) – As the highly transmissible UK variant drives a spike in COVID cases in several states, particularly Michigan, one expert in California believes the Golden State may not see the same surge.

Michigan now has the highest cases per capita in the nation.
