To date, 33 of the 43 positive samples have been analyzed for the delta variant.
In the past, delta has existed in clusters, but in recent times it has spread in society without it being possible to trace it to a specific case.
- In combination with the fact that we do not have full vaccination coverage and that people do not follow the general advice, participating is a major threat, says Gunilla Persson.
The spread of infection is greatest among young people
Of the positive cases so far, it is in the age group 20–29 that the spread is greatest.
It is mainly in social contexts, in the family and when traveling abroad that most cases occur.
- Many groups of friends go on pleasure trips and parties and do not think that it is a pandemic that is going on, she says.
