When KATV first introduced the Lambda variant to the public, doctors said the nearest case was in Houston, Texas.

Today, there are nine Lambda cases in Arkansas. It just goes to show how quickly this virus can spread and mutate.

"We have enough to be concerned about with the Delta variant," said Governor Asa Hutchinson.

"The Lambda variant has been identified here in the state. We are tracking to see if we are seeing more isolations of that particular variant. I don't think we need to be concerned about it at this time," said Dr. Jos Romero, Arkansas Secretary of Health.

Despite the lack of concern, medical professionals are still aware of the variant.

The most recent Lambda case was reported on August 2, 2021.

"I suspect there are likely symptoms because the Delta variant is so much more infectious than the Lambda variant. People who get the Delta variant, their viral lobe, respiratory track is about a thousand times higher than the other variants that have previously circulated," said Dr. Jennifer Dillaha, Chief Medical Officer for the Arkansas Department of Health.

Medical officials say with mutations and variants of the coronavirus, it's more of a reason to get vaccinated.

"The best way to protect against new variants from developing is to suppress the replication. The best way to suppress the replication in the human body is for someone to get vaccinated," said Dr. Dillaha.

You must be at least 12-years-old to get the COVID vaccine.

What's the deal with lambda? Is it pretty similar to delta?
I don't think we know yet.
