Europe Identifies Hybrid Delta + Omicron Coronavirus Variant

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) publishes maps and data on the COVID-19 pandemic across Europe weekly. In these maps, EU/EEA Member States are classified according to an indicator that is based on the 14-day notification rate, weighted by the vaccine uptake of the region.

And the ECDC's COVID-19 data dashboard is accessible from this webpage.

The latest COVID-19 update for the EU/EEA is available here.

Furthermore, the ECDC renders a SARS-CoV-2 virus variants dashboard, which includes the latest Omicron sublineage reporting.

This innovative dashboard provides an overview of the proportion of variants of concern and variants of interest in EU/EEA Member States together with sequencing volumes and complements the ECDC country overview report.

And as of March 10, 2022, the ECDC reported one new variant was added to the Variants Under Monitoring list.

This new variant is a recombinant between AY.4 (Delta) and BA.1 (Omicron) and has been reported from Denmark, France, and the Netherlands, but at low numbers.

Separately, the U.S. NIH OpenData Portal posted revised vaccine, antibody, and antiviral treatments scores on March 10, 2022.
