Houston Methodist Hospital has confirmed its first case of the Lambda coronavirus variant, the Texas hospital system announced Tuesday.
First detected in Peru in December, Lambda has been designated as "a variant of interest" by the World Health Organization, and shares mutations in common with the Gamma variant, which is dominant in Brazil. While Lambda is the predominant strain in Peru, health officials say the Delta variant is still the primary concern in the U.S.
"There's a lot more evidence that we have that Delta is much more contagious, the viral loads are much higher," Dr. Wesley Long, medical director of Diagnostic Microbiology at Houston Methodist, told ABC News.
