WASHINGTON (CNN) Health experts are alerting the public about a new COVID-19 variant, first discovered in India.
The Delta variant seems to be more contagious, may cause severe disease, and spread more commonly in younger patients compared to other strains.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases says the U.S. could be in trouble if it becomes the dominant strain.
Currently, 6% of new COVID infections in the U.S. are the Delta variant.
Dr. Celine Gounder, an Infectious Disease Specialist and Epidemiologist commented, “[t]he Delta variant really is a double threat because it is both more infectious and it can evade our immune responses.”
