New Delhi: The war against Covid-19 has changed because the Delta variant is very contagious, the center for control of the disease is said, proposing a clearer message, mandatory vaccine for health workers and return to universal masking.
Internal CDC documents say variants, are first detected in India and are now dominant throughout the world, transmitting as chickenpox and far more contagious than ordinary flu or flu. It can be forwarded even by people who are vaccinated, and can cause more serious diseases than previous Coronavirus strains.
Documents, titled “Improve communication around the breakthrough vaccine and vaccine effectiveness”, said the variant requires a new approach to help the community understand the dangers – including clarifying that people who are not vaccinated more than 10 times more than those who are vaccinated. seriously ill or dead.
“Recognizing the war has changed,” he said. “Increase communication around the risk of individuals between vaccination.”
Recommended preventive measures include making mandatory vaccines for health care professionals to protect vulnerable and return to the use of universal facial masks.
CDC confirmed the authenticity of the document, which was first reported by Washington Post.
While vaccinated people tend to be infected, once they signed “breakthrough infections” from Delta – unlike cases with previous variants – they might may be the same as those who were not charged diseases in others.
“High viral burden shows an increased risk of transmission and raises concerns, unlike other variants, people who are vaccinated by delta can transmit viruses,” said CDC Rochelle Walensky’s head in a statement.
On Friday the CDC released data from the study of the plague in Massachusetts where he said three-quarters of those infected were fully vaccinated. The study played an important role in this week’s CDC decision again recommend that people who were vaccinated wear masks in several situations, Walensky said.
‘Virus has become fit’
CDC said that on July 26, more than 6,500 people experienced a breakthrough of Covid-19 infection after being fully vaccinated and hospitalized or had died. It stopped reporting a mild infection of this spring but in the report, it was estimated that there were around 35,000 symptomatic infections every week in the United States.
In part of the world where a large number of people have not been vaccinated, the Delta variant has led once more to surge in mortality and hospitalization.
The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said the health system in many countries is now being overwhelmed: “Hard profits are in danger or missing,” he said at a press conference.
The top emergency expert Global Health Body Mike Ryan told reporters that vaccines remained effective in preventing serious diseases and deaths: “We fight the same virus but the virus is fit.”
Even in rich countries which are one of the first vaccination campaigns to launch, cases have soared. While vaccines have a much lower mortality rate, the large population remains vulnerable, especially those who reject vaccines, certain problems in the United States where voters support former President Donald Trump. Trump is the only president who lives not to participate in a public service campaign that encourages people to take vaccines.
Almost a third of A.S. Mature hasn’t got the first shot. Area, where the level of vaccination is low, has seen a sharp increase in the past few weeks, and the authority was afraid of hospitalization and death not far behind.
A specialist of US infectious diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told Reuters that he hoped the vaccine, which has so far only received emergency agreements, can begin to get full regulatory approval in August, and that this can help persuade more people to vaccinate.
In the UK, where the Delta variant caused a sharp surge in infection in recent months despite the world’s fastest inoculation campaigns, a panel that suggested the government say the protection of the vaccine is likely to be reduced from time to time, the meaning of vaccination campaigns might last many years year.
On Tuesday, the CDC, who advised Americans who were vaccinated last month that they no longer need to wear a mask, open the way, say even a fully vaccinated must wear a face cover in a situation where the virus is likely to spread.
On Thursday, President U.S. Joe Biden urged the regional government to pay people to get vaccinations and set new rules that require federal workers to provide evidence of vaccination or deal with regular testing, travel mandates, and restrictions on trips.
“The main thing that changes (because Delta) is that masks will still be used and in countries where these requirements have been appointed, it must be re-introduced,” said Carlo Federico Perno, Head of the Diagnostic Microbiology and Immunology at Roma Hospital Bambino Ges.
Asian countries tighten restrictions
Countries in Asia, many of which avoid the worst results that hit Western countries in 2020, have been devastated in recent weeks. Some announce new restrictions on Friday. From Monday, the army personnel will help the largest city police in Australia, check that people who have been tested positive are isolation.
The Philippines announced plans to place the Capital Region of Manila, home to more than 13 million people, in locking for two weeks.
In Japan, where the surge in the case has overshadowed the Olympics, the government proposed emergency countries until the end of August in three prefectures near Tokyo and West Prefecture Osaka.
“Widespread infection. This situation is very severe,” said Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, a warning infection has not reached the top.
