Delta Covid variant now spread to 185 countries: WHO

India TV News  

The Delta Covid variant is the current dominant strain of the infectious virus, with its presence reported in 185 countries, as of September 21, the World Health organisation has said. "The Delta variant now accounted for 90 per cent of the sequences submitted to GISAID with a sample collection date," the global health agency said in its weekly epidemiological update on Tuesday. It's really predominantly Delta around the world," Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organisation's technical lead on Covid-19, was quoted as saying during a WHO social media live interaction. The fast-spreading delta variant infected both the unvaccinated and fully vaccinated populations in a federal prison in Texas, according to the new report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday.
