Details

Paper from the JUNIPER Consortium estimating the R advantage of Delta variant (B.1.617.2) at fine spatial scales. It was considered at SAGE 91 on 3 June 2021.

The paper is the assessment of the evidence at the time of writing. As new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly.

This paper should be read alongside the SPI-M-O: Consensus statement on COVID-19, 3 June 2021, also released under SAGE 91.

More detail on this analysis is available as part of the subsequent preprint Early epidemiological signatures of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants: establishment of delta (B.1.617.2) in England.

These documents are released as pre-print publications that have provided the government with rapid evidence during an emergency. These documents have not been peer-reviewed and there is no restriction on authors submitting and publishing this evidence in peer-reviewed journals.
