So this means that they could be getting it from anywhere.- The variant is modifying itself and turning itself from a variant of interest into a worrisome variant. What is a worrisome variant? It means that the possibility of the contagion is higher and faster. The delta variant is evidently the most contagious variant that we have known of so far.- Younger pople are more likely to get infected by this variant than older people. We have a lot of people who haven't been vaccinated yet, and we have to accelerate the vaccination process as well as intensify the vigilance across all boders, including ports, airports and border crossing areas.- We have come to understand that facial mask is a tool to save our lives. Using a double mask correctly and use it all the time in closed space will mark the difference between life and death. We'll never stop using the mask.
