“Infection with the Delta strain of COVID-19 has already been reported in many countries,” Hande Harmanci, Head of the World Health Organization Office in Azerbaijan told APA.

She emphasized that the arrival of the Delta strain in Azerbaijan is inevitable: "Azerbaijan is a country with international traffic. There are laboratory conditions in Azerbaijan to determine whether delta strain infection has been registered. However, although the Delta strain has not been identified, the rules to follow are not very different. To do this, it should be protected and vaccinated. All vaccines currently on the WHO list protect against serious illness, hospitalization and death."

Harmanci also noted that no different symptoms of Delta strain have been reported.
