NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- While most of the economy has reopened, the number of new cases is once again on the rise. This time, two variants of COVID-19, the delta and lambda variants, are causing the numbers of newly inflected to rise. Delta is the most recent of four coronavirus mutations added to the World Health Organization's and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "variants of concern" lists. "[Delta is] mutating compared to other viruses incredibly quickly. I think a big part of that is because there is a significant percentage of people who are getting infected and are asymptomatic," Dr. Nevan Krogan, a University of California San Francisco, told KGO-TV according to ABC7. "The world is really a huge petri dish." Todos Medical Ltd. (OTC: TOMDF), Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ: AGEN), Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX), VBI Vaccines Inc. (NASDAQ: VBIV), iBio, Inc. (NYS: IBIO)
