Clinical severity of Omicron sub-lineage BA.2 compared to BA.1 in South Africa

2022-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Early data indicated that infection with Omicron BA.1 sub-lineage was associated with a lower risk of hospitalisation and severe illness, compared to Delta infection. Recently, the BA.2 sub-lineage has increased in many areas globally. We aimed to assess the severity of BA.2 infections compared to BA.1 in South Africa. We performed data linkages for (i) national COVID-19 case data, (ii) SARS-CoV...
