The Delta variant gathers pace
The highly infectious Delta variant now accounts for an estimated 83 percent of new coronavirus cases in the U.S., up from 50 percent in early July. In some regions, the percentage is even higher particularly where vaccination rates are low.
Beta variant: All travelers to England from France must quarantine upon arrival over concerns about the Beta variant, which was first detected in South Africa last year and which appeared in 3.7 percent of virus samples sequenced in France.
