Earlier this week, MaineHealth reported that additional testing on 49 positive COVID-19 samples from patients found that 18 were the delta variant.
MaineHealth Chief Health Improvement Officer Dr. Dora Anne Mills said the additional testing is expensive and was done for epidemiological purposes. She said the samples will undergo further genomic testing.

The Delta strain arose in India in December last year, before the vaccines were rolled out to the public.
And covid started in a wet market and NOT in a lab...who knows the truth. It's whatever one wants to believe at this point. Run for your lives!
They can't even catch it due to different ACE2 receptors).

Experts warned for months vaccines could cause more dangerous COVID variants.
"If you don’t have these pathogens evolving in response to vaccines, then we really don’t understand natural selection."

A PCR test can only tell if you are positive for Covid.
Further testing is required to see which variant it is.

Dubious claims that vaccines are causing new variants of the novel coronavirus are spreading on social media.
These false reports have increased after French virologist Luc Montagnier was reported to have made the same claim in an interview.
However, scientific evidence shows the opposite is true.
Medical experts say virus mutations occur randomly and independently of vaccination.
In addition, vaccines can play a role in squashing the variants.
As Read first argued in a Nature paper 14 years ago, by keeping their hosts alive, such "imperfect" or "leaky" vaccines could give deadlier pathogens an edge, allowing them to spread when they would normally burn out quickly.
Over the past few decades, Marek's disease has become much more virulent—which some researchers believe is the result of vaccination.
