56 Covid-19 positive people in the municipality of Færder is a delta variant

"It is very important that everyone now adheres to infection control rules for quarantine and isolation, limits the number of close contacts and performs tests with the slightest suspicion of infection," says Færder's chief physician Elin Jakobsen.

Of the positive samples for Covid-19 in the municipality of Færder, 56 of them were detected with the Delta variant virus. The municipality is currently reviewing all samples and checking that they are related. People who tested positive in the last few days must assume that they are infected with the Delta variant.

The quarantine and isolation rules are the same for the Delta variant, therefore a positive tester will not be called again.

The coronavirus delta variant is highly contagious and fully vaccinated individuals tested positive. The vaccine protects against serious development of the disease and it has not been found that people who are vaccinated do not pass it on to others.

The Delta variant is the most contagious among young people, so the municipality is closing recreational and other activities for children and adolescents until June 20.

In the hope of creating a fairer and more understandable system. WHO will refer to the most terrifying and contagious variants using the letters of the Greek alphabet. According to WHO, this is to simplify discussions but also help remove the stigma surrounding names.
The variant B. 1.617.2, discovered in India, is now called Delta. The variant discovered in Brazil, P.1, was named Gamma. The variant discovered in South Africa B.1.351 was named Beta and the crown variant discovered in Great Britain B.1.1.7 was named Alpha.
