EXPERTS WANT COUNTRIES TO CLOSELY WATCH UK STRATEGY OF COMBATING DELTA VARIANT

  • 30/06/2021

Experts are urging countries to watch the strategy of the United Kingdom closely as it attempts to out-vaccinate the potential third wave of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant first detected in India, according to a CNN report. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had earlier expressed confidence in the government’s four-step roadmap out of lockdown that would have culminated on June 21 if not for the Delta variant.

The government had to extend the final phase of lifting virtually all restrictions and returning back to normal on July 19, a goal targeted through aggressive vaccination drives. Britain boasts of one of the largest vaccination coverage in the world in terms of vaccination population percentage and should have been easier than other countries. However, the emergence of the Delta variant, which has become the dominant strain in the country, could potentially jeopardise Britain’s plan to return back to normal.
