Polco users and readers visiting WNA member websites from July 28 to Aug. 10 were asked how concerned they were about the Delta variant of COVID-19. We asked this question in light of a surge in new COVID-19 cases fueled by the variant that prompted new CDC mask-wearing guidance.
Out of 760 respondents, 49% said they were very concerned about the Delta variant of COVID-19. Another 28% indicated they were somewhat concerned about the variant, while 22% of respondents said they were not concerned at all.
The full question and results can be found below:
