What Is the Delta Variant?
As the country reopens, a surge in COVID-19 cases has occurred. According to the Centers for Disease Control data, this surge is primarily due to the Delta variant of COVID-19; it currently accounts for over 80% of new COVID-19 cases across the country, according to U.S. News. The Delta variant is particularly dangerous because it is around 40% to 60% more transmissible than other variants.

The easiest way to protect yourself and others from the Delta variant is to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Authorized vaccines in the United States have been found effective against the Delta variant—drastically reducing the likelihood of severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Other effective methods for preventing the spread of the Delta variant include:
Wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth.
Keeping 6 feet of distance between you and those you don’t live with.
Avoiding large crowds and gatherings.
Washing your hands with soap and water.
