France is likely to have a fourth wave of the COVID-19 virus, due to a resurgence of cases caused by the Delta variant first found in India, said the French government's leading scientific adviser Professor Jean-François Delfraissy.
Just over a year ago, the Coronavirus made the world shut down and brought death and despair. Now there are vaccines - and many countries where people have been inoculated. More than half the population in the worst-hit country, the US. In Britain, it's even two-thirds.
After more than a year of COVID-19, we've become familiar with complex medical terminology and difficult virological concepts. But we also realize it's not going away that easily. Britain and the US are having trouble convincing more people to get vaccinated; the new Delta variant is spreading rapidly.
Vast regions, like Africa, still lack vaccines. In Australia, where several cities are re-introducing restrictions to try to contain new COVID-19 clusters, some linked to the Delta variant.
Sydney and Darwin have begun new lockdowns, while other cities are re-introducing mask wearing. Only 5 percent of the population in Australia has been fully vaccinated.
Authorities in Russia have begun sounding the alarm about a new wave of coronavirus now sweeping the country, causing a record number of deaths in recent days.
Some
regions have begun introducing restrictions – including Moscow, where
many workers are being obliged to get vaccinated and restaurants will
soon only be open to people who can prove they are Covid-free.
