“The results indicate that patients with the delta variant are at more than twice the risk of hospitalization compared to patients with the alpha variant,” According to a British study. “Emergency room participation associated with hospitalization was also higher for patients with the delta variant, indicating increased use of emergency care in addition to hospitalization.”
