Abstract

Analysing 9,030 variant-specific tests performed on SARS-CoV-2 positive samples collected in France between 31 May and 21 June 2021 reveals a rapid growth of the δ variant in 3 French regions. The next weeks will prove decisive but the magnitude of the estimated transmission advantages could represent a major challenge for public health authorities.
