(ANSA) - ROME, June 06 - The Delta variant of the coronavirus, discovered for the first time in India a few months ago, is "40% more transmissible".
British health minister Matt Hancock told the BBC.
"This makes everything more complicated for us," he added, however, stressing that the number of hospitalizations in the UK at this time is not increasing and most people in hospital with Covid-19 have not received even a dose of the vaccine.
