'The war has changed': US documents sound alarm on Delta variant DStv403 eNCA
The outbreak related to July 4 festivities, with the latest number of people infected swelling to 900, according to local reports.
"It's not really so much for your own protection: as a vaccinated person if you have one of these breakthrough infections, you may have mild symptoms, you may have no symptoms, but based on what we're seeing here you could be contagious to other people."Accordingly, the CDC has changed its guidance to say vaccinated people need to test if they are exposed to the virus even if they don't have symptoms.
A review of findings from other countries shows that while the original SARS-CoV-2 was as contagious as the common cold, each person with Delta infects on average eight others, making it as transmissible as chickenpox but still less than measles. That is equivalent to at least 90 percent effective against severe disease and death, and at least 67 percent effective against infection.
