Delta variant widespread
The variant has caused a large uptick in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in areas such as southwest Missouri, where counties lag behind state and national vaccination rates, according to Gannett’s Springfield News-Leader.
But in Massachusetts, where about 60% of people are fully vaccinated, the Delta variant appears to be of less concern, said Dr. Jeremy Kamil, an associate professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport.
Kamil, who leads COVID-19 sequencing at the institution, said in an email that “if Cape Cod is similar to that rate I would say it is well positioned to fend off Delta.”
