Ongoing Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Induced Immunity Following the Omicron (BA.1) Dominant Wave and Declining Incidence of Severe and Fatal Covid-19 in Gauteng, South Africa: An Observational Study

2022-12-19

Abstract excerpt

Background: The B.1.1.529 (Omicron BA.1) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in mid-November 2021 in Southern Africa and subsequently resulted in a global resurgence of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). One-year later, sub-lineages of Omicron dominate globally as the cause of Covid-19. We undertook a population-based sero-survey to investigate the force o...
