The highly transmissible Delta coronavirus variant is exposing the vulnerability of economies with low vaccination rates, such as Australia and Hong Kong. Catherine Bennett, public health expert and epidemiologist at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, explains how infectious the variant is and how it could force jurisdictions to rethink their reopening plans.
