State health officials have identified nearly three dozen cases of a new, fast-spreading variant of COVID-19 in Wisconsin that was first detected in India last year.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is tracking the Delta variant, which has been found in 35 positive coronavirus tests since April, according to state data. The Delta variant only constitutes about 6% of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. but could eventually overtake the Alpha variant as the dominant virus in the U.S. and in Wisconsin.
