"The latest study by the Seresmi Istituto Spallanzani shows that in one month there was a 10-fold increase in the proportion of the Delta variant in the region, going from 3.4% of the survey of May 18 to 34.9% of that of today. 74.5% of the cases with the Delta variant are unvaccinated. A proportion that reaches 94% if we add those partially vaccinated with a single dose ". The councilor for Health and Socio-sanitary Integration of the Lazio Region, Alessio D'Amato, writes in a note. "To date - he adds - the most present variant is the Gamma" or Brazilian "variant with 36.8% of cases, followed by" the Indian "Delta 34.9" and the English "Alfa with 27.4" % ".

"This survey - underlines D'Amato - is consistent with the estimate at European level by the Ecdc. This is why it is necessary at this stage to complete the vaccination processes with all the vaccines available which are all effective against the variant if the process is completed. L The other aspect concerns sequencing and tracing ", and" tests are underway on 100% of the positive swabs ".
