#Omicron-fuelled #COVID19 pandemic fourth wave in Africa flattens after a six-week surge. If the trend continues, it will be the shortest-lived surge to date in the continent where cumulative cases have now exceeded 10 million. afro.who.int/news/omicron-f…
#COVID19 deaths in #Africa rose by 64% in the seven days ending on 9 January compared with the week before mainly due to infections among people at high-risk.

Deaths in the fourth wave are however lower than in the previous waves. Hospitalizations have remained low.
The fast-spreading #Omicron variant has become dominant in countries experiencing a surge in #COVID19 cases.

While it took around four weeks for the #Delta variant to surpass the previously dominant Beta, Omicron outpaced Delta within two weeks in worst-hit African countries.
