Currently, the variant of concern is the Delta variant which was first detected in India. The said COVID-19 variant has infected a lot of people in India and hospitals got filled up with patients. Some coronavirus patients even had to receive oxygen while in a vehicle as the hospitals can no longer accommodate all the patients.
