coronavirus (COVID-19)
 Omicron Variant

 ABOUT

Newsnodes and BNO News have been working together to track confirmed cases of B.1.1.529, a coronavirus variant which has been designated as the Omicron variant.

This tracker was launched on November 25, 2021, and was updated several times a day.

We have stopped updating this tracker, as of January 8th.


 OMICRON VARIANT TRACKER PARTNERSHIP

The Omicron Variant tracker is brought to you in partnership with Global.health and HealthMap.





 OMICRON VARIANT (B.1.1.529) DATA FROM BNO NEWS / NEWSNODES




 Note: no more updates on our Omicron tracker 
As the Omicron variant has become widespread and has been confirmed by 150 countries / territories around the world, we have decided to stop updating our Omicron tracker, as of January 8th, 2022.

In case a new variant surfaces, which we expect to become a Variant of Concern, we will be back with a new dedicated variant tracker. Thank you for visiting our tracker!

About our data
Genomic sequencing, which is used to confirm the variant, is performed on only a small number of coronavirus cases. As a result, the actual number of Omicron cases is believed to be significantly higher than the number of confirmed Omicron cases.

That's why we also report on estimates of Omicron prevalence by national health authorities, when these numbers are available. National authorities are best able to estimate the share of current Omicron cases as a percentage of the total amount of coronavirus cases in a country as they typically have more coronavirus sequences than GISAID per country.

Prevalence in Germany increases from 9% for the week ending Dec 19th, to 20% for the week ending Dec 26th. Your estimate of 25% by Jan 5th seems not based in any empiric data, and looks highly optimistic. www.rki.de

@Crannofonix; for US States, currently most Cases data is from GISAID and most prevalence data is from CDC Nowcast. Before we had more like 50-50 from GISAID and States, but most US States are not able to keep up with the number of Omicron sequences uploaded to GISAID. There are some exceptions, for example Kansas: bit.ly

@Rene_R, thank you for your help! Deaths are updated. The cases number (13,124) you are referring to is the sum of cases classified to age groups. It is quite common in datasets that not every case can be attributed to an age group. This means only 5 Omicron cases in Germany have not been assigned to an age group. If you sum the Omicron cases per Bündeslander, you will see 13,129 cases as well. Hope this helps!
