For now, there is no doubt that the Delta plus strain of the coronavirus is present in Montenegro, the Institute for Public Health (IJZ) announced.
"However, the Institute for Public Health, in accordance with its responsible attitude towards the citizens of Montenegro, will, in cooperation with the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC), conduct additional analyzes and inform the public in a timely manner," the announcement states.
They added that the delta strain is still dominant in Montenegro, as well as in the world, but it is evolving.
"Preliminary findings from Great Britain, where the Delta plus strain is being investigated, suggest that this strain is 10 to 15 percent more transmissible than Delta, but more evidence is needed to understand the risks and possible connection to the increase in the number of cases," the statement concludes. .
