On 21 December, the spread of the JN.1 Omicron variant led to a surge of COVID-19 cases, resulting in 400 hospitalisations per week and 25 deaths.[109] The JN.1 variant accounted for 14% of sequenced cases reported in the week leading up to 15 December. Based on these figures,Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) pathogen genomics technical lead David Winter projected that the JN.1 variant would be the dominant variant by January 2024.[110]
Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c The large increase in recovered cases on these dates is due to changes in case definitions. Starting from 16 December 2021, active cases were automatically considered recovered after 21 days, after previously requiring clearance from a medical practitioner.[1] On 4 March 2022 this period was reduced to 10 days, and from 18 March it was reduced further to 7 days.
- ^ a b Changes in the number of deaths reported on these dates are due to redefinitions of Covid deaths. Initially, a Covid death was reported when COVID-19 was a confirmed or likely cause of death. Starting on 10 March 2022, Covid deaths were reported automatically when a person died within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19, or when deaths were clearly linked to COVID-19 after 28 days.[2] From 26 July 2022, a Covid death is reported when COVID-19 is considered the underlying or a contributory cause; previously reported deaths not meeting the new definition were removed from the total number of Covid deaths.[3]
