Delta variant: Growing concern as countries see an uptick in COVID-19 cases around the globe


Countries around the globe have a growing concern about the uptick in Delta variant cases. A new report says half of the adults infected in Israel received two doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

As the variant spreads in the United States, Dr. Anthony Fauci is warning about a growing disparity in vaccination rates in parts of the country.

“When you have such a low level of vaccination superimposed upon a variant that has a high degree of efficiency of spread, what you are going to see among undervaccinated regions — be that states, cities or counties — you’re going to see these individual types of blips,” Dr. Fauci said in an interview with CNN. “It’s almost like it’s going to be two Americas.”
