The Delta variant of the coronavirus, first discovered in India, is the biggest threat to US efforts to eradicate covid-19, US infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci told a news conference.

- The Delta strain of coronavirus is undoubtedly easier to transmit than the original variant, Fauci stressed, adding that the species is becoming a globally dominant version that causes a more serious clinical picture in patients.

Fauci recalled that US-approved vaccines, including the Pfizer / Biontec vaccine, are effective against that strain.

- We have tools and we must use them to prevent the new spread of the virus, said Fauci.
