Covid-19: 6 Things To Know About the Delta Variant1. Delta is more contagious than the other virus strains.--Delta is spreading 50% faster than Alpha, which was 50% more contagious than the original strain of SARS-CoV-2.
2. Unvaccinated people are at risk.--People who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are most at risk. “A recent study from the United Kingdom showed that children and adults under 50 were 2.5 times more likely to become infected with Delta,” 3. Delta could lead to 'hyperlocal outbreaks.'--In some cases, a low-vaccination town that is surrounded by high vaccination areas could end up with the virus contained within its borders, and the result could be “hyperlocal outbreaks,” 4. There is still more to learn about Delta.--There have been reports of symptoms that are different than those associated with the original coronavirus strain. 5. Vaccination is the best protection against Delta.--The most important thing you can do to protect yourself from Delta is to get fully vaccinated, the doctors say. That means if you get a two-dose vaccine like Pfizer or Moderna, for example, you must get both shots and then wait the recommended two-week period for those shots to take full effect. |
