The COVID-19 Delta Variant is spreading rapidly among the population of Maryland. It has caused the rise of new COVID cases and the increase in COVID deaths across the nation. Unvaccinated people are more likely to be hospitalized and die from this variant. The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and its Delta variant is to get vaccinated, wear a mask indoors and at large outdoor events, wash your hands regularly, and know the facts. For more information go to: www.cdc.gov and https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/
