According to an internal presentation by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox.
The New York Times cited the document presented, stating that the Delta variant is more likely to break through protections afforded by the vaccines and may cause more severe disease than all other known versions of the virus.
Furthermore, the Delta variant is more transmissible than the viruses that cause MERS, SARS, Ebola, the common cold, the seasonal flu and smallpox.
The Director of the agency, Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, acknowledged on Tuesday that vaccinated people with so-called breakthrough infections of the Delta variant carry just as much virus in the nose and throat as unvaccinated people and may spread it just as readily, if less often.
