The Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread, and health experts say the new variant is more transmissible. With the new school year starting next month, at least one Oklahoma doctor is worried.
Dr. Hal Scofield with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation says the Delta variant of the virus is more transmissible among children. He says younger individuals were not the main concern with the original strain of the virus, but now that’s changing with the Delta variant. [It] looks like it’s much more likely to infect and be transmitted by children, Scofield said.
With school just around the corner, Schofield said the number of those infected could dramatically increase.
