Management of COVID-19 Important Note August 2021: Other than hypertransmissibility and high peak viral loads, current understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection with the currently predominant Delta variant, is very limited although improving daily. Delta has many unique properties. Most knowledge of clinical, epidemiologic, therapeutic, and diagnostic aspects of infection and COVID-19 are based on studies done in the pre-Delta era and recommendations based on references that pre-date Delta should be interpreted in that context. Of course, we will continue to update COVID-19 information and recommendations based on new developments. See COVID-19 Prevention for authorized vaccines and information.
