However, most outbreaks have been detected in Germany in private households, workplaces and schools – both for the Alpha and Delta variant. Over four weeks from June 7th to the beginning of July, Delta accounted for about 1,100 Covid infections in Germany. Germany this week lifted the travel ban on countries with widespread Covid infections linked to the Delta variant due to it being the dominant variant in the Bundesrepublik. In order to fight the Delta variant, the RKI says Germany needs to target an even higher proportion of the population. In the USA, too, the particularly transmissible Delta variant is already dominant, according to research by the CDC.
