First Delta Variant Case Confirmed in Colombia
Colombia has its first case of the highly transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant strain, Colombian President Ivan Duque confirmed Saturday.
The first case of this new infectious variant in the country was an international traveler who arrived in Cali from the United States.
The president stressed the fact that the new variant comes at a relatively positive time for the country, given the decrease in cases.
Authorities called to be more careful with biosecurity protocols.
According to the World Health Organization, as of 20 July, the delta variant, which was first detected in India in October 2020, has spread over more than 100 countries.
Colombian President Ivan Duque confirmed on Saturday that the Delta variant of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is circulating in the country.
“The National Institute of Health has identified the presence of the Delta variant in our country in a case that was subjected to examination in the city of Cali and that has already been treated with all medical protocols,” he said.
Duque called on citizens to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible, adding that this variant currently has a presence in 105 countries around the world and has been proven to have a higher level of transmissibility.
Director of the National Institute of Health Martha Lucia Ospina said that the infected person had been placed in isolation after returning from a trip to the United States.
