Delta variant invades county County, state and federal health authorities rethink protection protocols The highly contagious COVID delta variant on the rise throughout the country has invaded Jefferson County, too. Over 80% of the new cases seem to be linked to the new delta variant, says Jefferson County Public Health Director Michael Baker.
