What We Know About the Delta & Omicron Variants So Far
​
You’ve probably heard by now about the Delta & Omicron variants, highly contagious strains of COVID-19. In just a few months, it has quickly become the dominant variants in the United States — and it’s causing a national rise in new infections and hospitalizations.
​
7 things you need to know about the variants and staying protected.
-
Unvaccinated people are at higher risk of getting COVID-19 now than they were before the variants appeared.
-
More young people are getting sick compared with earlier variants.
-
Delta & Omicron variant symptoms are the same as other versions of COVID-19. However, they may be causing people to get sicker faster, including young people.
-
The COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others against Delta & Omicron variants. Even in the rare case that you do get infected, the vaccine will likely prevent you from becoming seriously ill.
-
A small number of fully vaccinated people have become infected with these variants. Their symptoms tend to be mild, but it’s still possible to spread the virus to others.
-
Many fully vaccinated people can now receive a vaccine booster — as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
-
Everyone should continue wearing masks in crowded settings and public indoor spaces — including fully vaccinated people, especially in areas of high transmission.

Risks for S4EA Athletes
The health & safety of the S4EA community is our top priority. In light of the daily changes in the news on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, we are hearing more and more of the dangers of having large numbers of people gathered in one location. Due to the medical conditions of some people with developmental disabilities, the nature of close and physical contact while playing sports, and the increased exposure to the virus, our athletes are at a higher risk of contracting the virus, including a severe case.
