The Omicron variant of the COVID-19
virus now accounts for 100% of new cases in Italy and the
sub-variant BA.2 is dominant, the Higher Health Institute (ISS)
and the health ministry said Thursday.
On April 4, they said, the Omicron variant had an estimated
prevalence of 100% with BA.2 predominant alongside other cases
of 'recombining' variants.
The ISS and the ministry did the 'flash survey' with regional
labs and the Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
