The Delta Variant
What is the delta variant?
What makes the delta variant different?
Viruses constantly change through mutation, and new variants of a virus are expected to occur. The delta variant is one such variant that arose from a mutation.
As a result of its mutations, the delta variant has increased transmissibility, meaning it can spread from person-to-person easier.
Will the delta variant lead to widespread lockdowns?
Am I protected if I'm vaccinated?
The delta variant has the potential to create "mini-surges" in areas of the United States with low rates of vaccination.
The COVID-19 vaccine is effective against the delta variant. However, those who are unvaccinated are at risk.
