Florida, Texas, and MissouriHe went on to say that Florida accounted for one-fifth of all new COVID cases in the United States for the second week in a row.
Based on the initiative of a non-profit organization Surgo Ventures, The highest concentration of COVID cases is limited to seven states-Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, South Dakota, Arkansas and Florida. However, according to Surgo’s latest report, within these states, 20 counties are considered “delta danger zones” because of their high risk of contracting COVID.
Surgo said it found a correlation between these counties, which were “susceptible to the health and socio-economic consequences of COVID-19” but obtained Coronavirus disease vaccine, And is now being attacked by the Delta variant of the virus.
By combining its data COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index and COVID-19 vaccine coverage index According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of July 19, the organization was able to determine that these 20 counties are “delta danger zones.”
In order from the most dangerous to the least dangerous, the following are the counties located in the “Delta Danger Zone” of the United States as disclosed by Surgo

Sema Sgaier, co-founder and CEO of Surgo Ventures and an adjunct assistant professor at Harvard University’s TH Chan School of Public Health, said in a statement.
