Delta ‘more than twice as deadly’ as original strain
Risk of hospitalisation and death higher with Delta, which also affects younger patients: study
The Delta variant is more than twice as deadly as the original strain of the SARS-CoV-2, virus, Canadian researchers say.
Epidemiologists found the risk of hospitalisation, ICU admission and death due to COVID-19 is higher among all variants of concern (VOC), but especially the Delta strain.
