As of July 21 the Delta variant accounted for 83 percent of U.S. cases, AP reported. According to CNN , the rise of the Delta variant comes amid a new uptick in cases and an increase in hospitalizations and deaths, especially in pockets of the country where vaccination rates remain relatively low. Thu Maulden, an ethnic Vietnamese living in Arkansas, said the state had the highest number of new cases caused by new variant in the country. Maulden said local authorities underline the importance of mask wearing and social distancing but have not made them mandatory.

The requirement to wear masks in many U.S. states was removed in April and there are no strict rules amid a raging culture war in which conservatives continue to act as if Covid is some kind of a liberal plot and shun all precautions, egged on by a partisan and polarized media. As a result, a majority of public activities are perforce …

"Due to the large number of infected people, Russian authorities couldn't trace every source of infection and put them in quarantine camps like the Vietnamese government did. Most of the positive cases were isolated in their homes," said Tran Dam Rang, 27, an Earth Science researcher who has lived in Russia for nine years. He said he had contracted Covid-19 and recovered more than two weeks ago, after a period of self-quarantine and treatment in the dormitory. When a positive case was detected, the dormitory management asked residents of each floor to limit contact with people on other floors. In case positive cases were found on multiple floors, the local health authority isolated the whole building, conducted testing and monitored treatment until there were no infected people left in the building.
