In May, out of 745 samples, 83.4% were found to have the Del ta variant, which was first found in India, according to Delhi government data shared with The Hindu. The Delta variant be came dominant in April (55% of 1,967 samples) when the city witnessed a deadly second wave and the daily new cases were re ported as high as 28,000. Also, the percentage of Alpha variant of the virus, first found in the U.K. and a dominant strain in the city earlier, fell from 47.4% in March to just 3.3% in June. “The Delta variant is the dominant strain of the virus in Delhi at this moment. It has seen a steady rise in the past few months. Also, till now, there is no Delta Plus variant of the virus reported here,” a Delhi government official said.

He said a similar trend was ob served in several other States as well. “Now the percentage of Delta variant may fall and another variant could be come dominant.
