earlier i spoke to dr xi chen who's associate professor of public health at yale university and askednaged to keep the virus largely under control, as we know, by closing the borders and moving quickly to stamp out local outbreaks. but this time, nanjing authorities were slow in their identification of the virus. it was transmitted from an air flight from russia through airchina — airflight to nanjing onjuly10, but after ten days, the first identifying case of positive covid—19 infection was coming out, so it took around ten days, which was longer than usual. and it took another ten days for the authorities to trace the origin of this transmission, which was from the russian flight. so which took another ten days, so i think this timing, delayed timing, is really the key that has caused a large scale of spreading. as you were mentioning, five provinces but now actually, it is eight provinces, so it's fast developing — around 22 cities involved and more than 200 cases identified. this is an outbreak of the delta variant. you mentioned local authorities have been slow to act. what have

megan ranney, an emergency physician at brown university, also the associate dean of public health there. dr. ranney, it sounds like the provincetown outbreak, the cluster there, was a game changer for doctors and for researchers, so what did that teach us? >> that taught us that unfortunately, alisyn, although being vaccinated does continue to protect us against severe disease and hospitalization, vaccination does not fully break the chain of transmission. in other words, unmasking indoors for fully vaccinated people is no longer a safe choice, especially if you have people at home like kids or elderly parents who are higher risk, who are unvaccinated themselves. >> but dr. ranney, do you mean that universally? i mean, do you mean that across the country? because isn't it still regional in places like, say, connecticut, where the positivity rate is low, can you behavior be different than in places like florida where the transmission rate is so high? >> so, certainly. if i were in missouri, florida, nevada, mississippi, states where the positivity rate and the case rate are through the r
