Europe braces for surge in Delta Covid variant
Delta, first identified in India, now accounts for almost all new infections in the UK.
The UK is not on the EU's list of safe countries, due to the spread of Delta, but that list is not binding on member states. On Thursday, Prime Minister Jean Castex and the country's health minister are to visit Les Landes, where the variant accounts for 70% of infections. Across France, it is believed to be behind 10% of cases.
In the capital Moscow - which has seen its highest number of daily deaths since the pandemic began - the Delta variant is responsible for 90% of new infections, according to the city's mayor.The spread of the variant has been complicated by low vaccination uptake across the country.
