The proportion of the delta variant in the proven corona infections in Germany has increased significantly. This emerges from a current RKI report.
Berlin – The Delta variant * is now apparently also spreading in Germany. This emerges from a current report by the RKI. However, the proportion of mutants is still relatively low.
Within a week, the delta variant, which is classified as significantly more dangerous, has significantly increased its share of new Corona * infections in Germany. Their share was 6.2 percent in calendar week 22 (May 31 to June 6), according to the RKI in its report on Wednesday. In the previous week (week 21), the proportion of the delta variant in the samples examined was still 3.7 percent.
With a share of a good 86 percent of the samples examined, the variant alpha (B.1.1.7, discovered in Great Britain) continued to cause the majority of infections nationwide in the first week of June. However, their share is slowly falling. The other worrisome variants beta and gamma still play a subordinate role. (dpa / rjs) * Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
