The World Health Organization said on Wednesday the Delta variant has been detected in at least 111 countries in the last two months, and was likely to become the dominant variant globally over the coming months. In Israel, it makes up about 90% of confirmed cases, according to the Health Ministry.
The variant, first identified in India, has led to a surge in cases worldwide and is setting back economic recovery plans. Bennett appealed to the public and said Delta can be beaten back within five weeks without a costly lockdown if people act responsibly by getting vaccinated, wearing masks indoors and keeping social distancing.
U.S. and European Union authorities have said it's unclear yet whether booster shots are needed. Scientists have said the companies' move was premature.
