Covid: US authorities, Delta variant represents 83% of cases

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 20 JUL - The Delta variant represents 83% of Covid cases in the United States. This was stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pointing out that more than half of Americans are not fully vaccinated. Cases of Covid are on the rise across the United States, especially where vaccination rates are low. And the vaccination campaign has abruptly slowed down. In New York City, the number of daily inoculations dropped to 15,000 from over 100,000 in mid-April. The city has a total of 4.5 million residents vaccinated, less than Mayor Bill de Blasio's target of five million fully vaccinated by June. (HANDLE).
