As the Delta variant of the Coronavirus pandemic rages across the 50 states of the country, the number of people testing positive for the damaging virus this week jumped by 10 percent in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of CDC, said that many of the new cases involved the Delta variant of the damaging Coronavirus disease.

The CDC Chief at a White House briefing, disclosed that combination of the 鈥渉ypertransmissible鈥� variant and many Americans鈥� refusal to be vaccinated is causing the increase.

Cases are rising the fastest in states with the fewest vaccinations, according to report.

It was gathered that the Delta variant is now responsible for a quarter of all new cases and has been detected in all 50 states of the country.

Walensky noted that it is likely to become the dominant US strain within the coming weeks.

However, in spite of the recent surge in the number of cases, administration officials say vaccinated consumers are safe to celebrate the Fourth of July in the country.
