1- from should be replaced with of. 2- drive should be replaced with drove, as the past tense should be used. 4- the correct preposition after resulting is in, not of. Though daily infections had gradually dipped at the start of the year, the relief was short-lived as the Delta variant drove an exponential rise in daily cases, resulting in the second wave of COVID-19 infections.
