Weeks after the World Health Organization (WHO) labelled the Delta variant of coronavirus as a “variant of concern”, the organisation’s chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had warned about the alarming increase of the ‘highly transmissible’ variant. He warned that the Delta variant has now spread to 104 countries and will soon become the dominant variant of COVID-19 in the world. This will result in a deadly increase in the number of coronavirus infections and deaths. His warning has come as the Covid related deaths have once again started increasing after observing a decline of only 10 days.
