Delta Not Just More Contagious, It Replicates Faster Inside You

July 9, 2021

The Delta variant of the coronavirus is the most contagious version worldwide. Research shows it spreads around 225% faster than the original Wuhan strain, and it is dominating outbreaks around the world. So why is it spreading so fast?

New research shows that the Delta variant replicates far more rapidly, and to higher levels. Research from Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that people infected with the delta variant had around 1000 x more copies of the virus than those infected with the original strain. Furthermore, people became infectious within 4 days of contracting the Delta variant, as opposed to the previous 6 days with other strains. This makes it even more crucial that people immediately isolate for 14 days if they have been in contact with a COVID case.
