PROBABLE
• Suspect case
• Inconclusive
laboratory result
CONFIRMED
• With laboratory
confirmation of virus
causing COVID-19
infection

than previous variants in
unvaccinated people
• unvaccinated people
remain the greatest
concern.

with Delta variant
breakthrough infections
can spread the virus to
others
