Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of our study is, it is an observational study of publicly reported data. However, this database of outcomes among the confirmed 593,572 Delta variant cases in UK technical briefings (as shown in Table 4, for period ending September 12, 2021, week 36), is correlating well with our comprehensive analysis of all the SARS-CoV2 weekly case rates, hospitalizations and deaths during the Delta variant surge in UK for the same period ending week 36 in 2021 (Figures 1-4). The other limitations of our study are the generalizability of the findings is limited to UK population.

The other limitations of our study are the generalizability of the findings is limited to the England and Wales population. Despite the declining COVID-19 deaths observed during the Delta variant surge in our study, the percent of deaths in Care Homes due to COVID-19 during the Delta variant surge is 2.5% which is higher than deaths due COVID-19 at Homes (1.6%). As per the data of 2002, about 0.7% of England and Wales population (n=442,888) living in the Care Homes are at increased risk for mortality as was observed during the first two waves with COVID-19 infections, due to advanced age of the Care Home population (75.6% and 50.3% of Care Home residents are ≥75 years and ≥85 years age groups respectively in England and Wales) and multiple preexisting conditions among the Care Home population19,30.
