<Anchor> As the



delta mutation is spreading in the United States, there has been a warning that the death toll from the corona virus will surge again as the number of confirmed cases increases mainly among those who have not been vaccinated.

[Reporter] The number of



confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States is rising again.



According to Johns Hopkins University, an average of 19,455 people have been infected with the coronavirus per day over the past week.



This is a 47% increase from the previous week.



This is because the highly contagious delta mutation spreads rapidly, while vaccination rates seldom rise.



In the United States, one-third of people over the age of 12 are still unvaccinated.



In the last week, the number of new vaccinations per day has decreased by up to 88% from the peak.



In particular, states such as Alabama and Arkansas have rates below 35%.



Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said last month that 99.2% of COVID-19 deaths in the United States were unvaccinated.



[Anthony Fauci/Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: The vaccine shows a very high preventive effect of 90% even for severely hospitalized patients that can lead to death.]



Israel is a vaccine booster shot for some people with weak immunity, such as cancer patients. Vaccination approved.



France will require vaccination certificates in theaters and shopping malls, as well as restaurants and trains, while making vaccination compulsory for health workers.
