The CDC has classified the delta coronavirus variant, which was first detected in India, as a variant of concern based on increasing evidence that it "spreads more easily and causes more severe cases when compared to other variants." The variant accounted for nearly 10% of US COVID-19 cases as of June 5..
"It doubles every seven to 10 days, which means when it gets to three weeks from now, this variant will be dominant," Topol said.
Vaccines, treatments and tests that detect the virus may also be less effective against a variant of concern. Previously, the CDC had considered the Delta variant to be a variant of interest.
Scotland published on Monday found that it was associated with about double the risk of hospitalization
