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.


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

 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.
