delta variant of SARS CoV2 virus is now present in more than 104 countries and is soon expected to become a dominant covid-19 strain circulating worldwide, said the World Health Organization. “The delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and deaths.
In places with high vaccination coverage, delta variant is spreading fast; especially infecting unprotected and vulnerable people and steadily putting pressure back on health systems," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general, WHO adding that in countries with low vaccine coverage, the situation is particularly bad.
