Now, an omicron variant, BA.2, accounts for almost half of all Danish omicron-cases. So, not perfectly, but at least there's some protection there.” References:ĬDC. “It appears that vaccine will protect you against BA.2 just as well as it does against BA.1. It hasn't been around that long,” she said. “Luckily, BA.2 does not seem to cause more severe disease, but we're early. “Now, about two-thirds of cases in Denmark are BA.2.”Īccording to Troisi, BA.2 has been reported in about 60 countries and in 25 American states. “Denmark is the place where it was first identified,” Troisi said. In Denmark, BA.2 has grown to become the dominant variant after accounting for about 20% of the country’s cases in the final week of 2021. “For example, BA.2 seems to have 20 more spike mutations than the BA.1.”Ī CDC spokesperson told Healio that the agency “continues to monitor variants that are circulating both domestically and internationally.” shows some of the properties of the variant and then some changes,” Troisi told Healio. Troisi, PhD, an epidemiologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, a subvariant is formed the same way a normal variant is formed. “BA.2 is more transmissible than BA.1” - the original omicron variant - “so we expect to see BA.2 increasing in detection around the world,” Maria Van Kerkhove, PhD, an infectious disease epidemiologist and WHO’s COVID-19 technical lead, told reporters this week.Īccording to Catherine L.
The CDC is tracking the omicron subvariant BA.2. BA.2 caused the remaining 3.6% of cases - up from 1.2% the week before. 5, the original omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 was responsible for 96.4% of all COVID-19 cases, according to the CDC’s online variant tracker.
The CDC has begun reporting the proportion of COVID-19 cases in the United States that are caused by the omicron subvariant BA.2.

Follow the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, death and recovered on the interactive global map. Johns Hopkins University is actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) – the directing and coordinating authority on international health within the United Nations system – monitors the spread of novel coronavirus/COVID-19 in over 100 countries based on daily updates from national authorities. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) continuously monitors the spread of coronavirus / COVID-19 via data reported daily by national authorities. Numbers from Greenland come from the Chief Medical Officer in Greenland In addition, the definition is updated so that hospitalisation is delineated at 90 days after the first positive sample sampling date.
Henceforth, COVID-19-related admissions to hospital are defined as admissions that begin within 14 days of the first positive sample sampling date. The v alidity of the information regarding the stated number people on ventilator is with reservation.Īs of 17 June 2020, the figures regarding hospitalised patients, including patients in intensive care and patients in intensive care and on a ventilator are calculated using a new method. each day include persons who are COVID positive, They are hospitalised due to COVID-19 symptoms or because of other illnesses. COVID19 is not necessarily the cause of death.ģ) Hospitalised = the statistic on how many beds in intensive care units - and on other wards in the regions - that are taken up by laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-cases via PCR at 7 a.m. Some people have had multiple tests done per day and some people have been tested several times.Ģ) Deaths = the statistics on fatalities include deaths recorded within 30 days of the detection of COVID-19 infection in the individual on the basis of PCR tests. Of the 11 persons in intensive care units, 5 persons are on a ventilator.ġ) The number of tests shows the total number of PCR tests, that are analyzed.Of the 475 hospitalised persons, 11 persons are admitted to intensive care units.Of which in intensive care units and on ventilators Test, symptoms of covid-19 and contacts to people infected with covid-19 Other publications for healthcare professionals
