The researchers have predicted that Omicron variants may burn themselves out in the next couple of months and the Delta variant might return.
Omicron BA.2 variant constituted 68.4 per cent of all whole genome sequenced samples in the state.
However, Fauci warned that the rapidly rising number of Omicron cases could still stress our healthcare system, despite the reduced disease severity.
However, the agency cautioned that a milder virus could still put pressure on hospitals because it spreads so fast. India's Omicron tally has also gone up to 415.
The highly transmissible Omicron variant has to date spread to about 90 countries. It is also the 'dominant' strain of COVID-19 in the USA.
UK researchers find lower vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic Omicron infection compared to the Delta variant after two-dose Covid-19 vaccination.
As people in the country are getting back to their normal routine after fighting the ferocious second wave of COVID-19, experts have warned that Delta variant can infect double vaccinated individuals also.
The transmissibility of the new sub-lineage of Covid-19 Delta variant is not known yet. It is the second Delta sub-lineage found in the Island nation.
According to the researchers, the therapy should be used only among "those above 65 years, with a Body Mass Index higher than 35, diabetics, chronic kidney disease patients, immunosuppressed individuals.
The researchers noted that most COVID-19 transmission is known to occur in households yet there is limited data on the risk of transmission of the Delta variant from vaccinated people with asymptomatic or mild infections in the community.
A sub-variant of the Covid Delta strain -- AY.4.2 -- may be up to 15 per cent more transmissible than the original Delta. Read on to know everything about this new delta variant.
Meanwhile, China has started shutting down schools, canceling hundreds of flights, and ramping up mass testings following a new outbreak of Covid.
At a time when COVID-19 is wrecking havoc worldwide, a new mutation of the deadly delta variant of coronavirus which was being monitored and assessed in the UK has now been classed as a Variant Under Investigation (VUI) amid concerns of its increased growth rate.
Worried about the Delta variant of COVID-19? Two doses of Covishield and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines may be 90% effective against the deadly variant.

Known as AY.4.2, the new descendant of the Delta variant contains mutations that might give the virus survival advantages.
The Delta variant which first emerged in India in 2020 and subsequently spread globally within a short time period is also responsible for the ferocious second wave of coronavirus that ravaged the country earlier this year.
