Clinical Severity of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Variant Relative to Delta in British Columbia, Canada: A Retrospective Analysis of Whole Genome Sequenced Cases

2022-03-09

Abstract excerpt

Background: In late 2021, the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant emerged and rapidly replaced Delta as the dominant variant globally. The increased transmissibility of the variant led to surges in case rates as well as increases in hospitalizations, however, the true severity of the variant remained unclear. We aimed to provide robust estimates of Omicron severity relative to Delta.<br><br>Methods: This study was conducte...
