Coronavirus Delta Variant – MOC Cleaning Services Can Help!
During 2021, the Delta variant became a major concern in the United States, alongside the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma variants. Genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerged and circulated around the world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Historical information — July 2021: Delta was reported to account for approximately 83% of COVID-19 cases in the United States during a period of increasing infections. This figure is historical and does not describe current variant prevalence. View the historical Senate hearing.
People infected with the Delta variant sometimes experienced symptoms that differed from those associated with earlier strains. Researchers continued studying these differences as additional information emerged.
Coronavirus Variants Discussed During the Pandemic
Several SARS-CoV-2 variants were identified and closely monitored during the COVID-19 pandemic, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta.
Alpha Variant
B.1.1.7 — one of the variants monitored during the earlier stages of the pandemic.
Beta Variant
B.1.351 — a variant studied for its mutations and their possible effects on immunity.
Gamma Variant
P.1 — a variant monitored internationally as scientists studied its transmission characteristics.
Delta Variant
B.1.617.2 — a highly transmissible variant that contributed to major COVID-19 surges in 2021.
How Bad Was the Delta Variant?
The Delta variant disrupted efforts to control COVID-19 in the United States during 2021. Infections increased, hospitals experienced significant pressure, and public-health officials considered renewed prevention measures.
Scientists studied how the variant spread, its potential effect on illness severity, and how different treatments and vaccines performed against it.
Laboratory studies suggested that some monoclonal antibody treatments could be less effective against variants with particular spike protein mutations.
Viral mutations and variants were monitored through genomic sequencing, laboratory studies, and epidemiological investigations.
A U.S. government interagency group developed classifications including Variant of Interest, Variant of Concern, and Variant of High Consequence.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta were among the variants classified as variants of concern during 2021.
Researchers investigated how variants affected transmissibility, disease severity, available treatments, and vaccine protection.
