Based on available data of transmission, severity, reinfection, diagnostics, therapeutics & impacts of vaccines, BA.2 sublineage of Omicron should continue to be considered a variant of concern and should remain classified as #COVID19 Omicron bit.ly/33GSg0I
Reinfection with #COVID19 Omicron BA.2 following infection with BA.1 has been documented, however, initial data from population-level reinfection studies suggest that infection with BA.1 provides strong protection against reinfection with BA.2 bit.ly/33GSg0I
WHO will continue to monitor the BA.2 lineage as part of #COVID19 Omicron and requests countries to continue to be vigilant, to monitor and report sequences & to conduct independent and comparative analyses of the different sublineages bit.ly/33GSg0I
This is the outcome of the meeting of WHO's Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution as part of its on-going work to track #COVID19 variants
