“This is the most significant we’ve had really when you look at the fact that we have vaccines to prevent this and these would have been much worse at an earlier time,” said Dr. Jose Romero, Arkansas Secretary of Health.
State officials said the new, highly transmissible Delta variant is a major factor in the rise in hospitalizations. Some studies suggest this variant has double the risk of hospitalizations.
