The agency stated that 74% of the newly confirmed cases in Germany have been infected with the Delta strain.

　　The delta strain is rapidly spreading in Germany.

The Robert Koch Institute stated that on the same day, according to the results of the study of samples taken, as of the week of July 4, 74% of the newly confirmed cases in Germany during the week were infected with the Delta strain.
