The potential impact of Omicron and future variants of concern on SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and public health burden: a modelling study

2021-12-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron (B.1.1.529) was classified as a variant of concern (VOC) on November 26, 2021. (1, 2) The infectivity, severity, and immune evasion properties of Omicron relative to the Delta variant would determine 1) the probability of dominant future transmission, and 2) the impact on disease burden. (3, 4) Here we apply individual-based transmission model OpenCOVID to identify thres...
