United Nations/Geneva: The Delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and deaths, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said, warning that the variant, now in over 104 countries, is expected to soon be the dominant Covid-19 strain circulating worldwide.
Addressing a press briefing on Monday, he said that last week marked the fourth consecutive week of increasing cases of Covid-19 globally, with increases recorded in all but one of WHO's six regions, adding with concern that after 10 weeks of declines, deaths are increasing again. "The Delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and death," the Director-General of the World Health Organisation said. "Delta is now in more than 104 countries and we expect it to soon be the dominant COVID-19 strain circulating worldwide," he said adding that the world is watching in real-time as the COVID-19 virus continues to change and become more transmissible.
