Clinical severity of the omicron variant in South Africa
● Interpretation - Our early analyses suggest a significantly reduced odds of hospitalisation among individuals with omicron versus non-omicron infections diagnosed during the same time period. omicron-infected individuals had a significantly reduced odds of severe disease compared with individuals infected earlier with the delta variant. Some of this reduced severity is probably a result of previous immunity.
