Viral circulation continues to rise, with an incidence rate exceeding 1,500 cases per 100,000 people and a positivity rate approaching the January 2022 peak of 41%.

However, the health impact remains limited. New hospitalizations and deaths are stable, and new admissions to intensive care are rising slightly.

The Omicron variant still accounts for 100% of interpretable sequences. The BA.2 sublineage is spreading rapidly, rising from 13% of Omicron sequences in S05 to 89% in S11.
