Covid BA.2 Omicron Variant Likely Now Accounts For Majority Of New Cases In Los Angeles
01.04.2022 - 07:15 / deadline.com
The rapid growth of the more transmissible BA.2 variant of Covid-19 is continuing in Los Angeles County. As of March 12, the latest date for which data is available, 32% of local positive Covid tests that underwent laboratory sequencing turned out to be the result of BA.2.
During the week ending March 5, 16.7% of sequenced cases were found to be BA.2, meaning that the variant’s share of new cases very nearly doubled in just 7 days. The final week of February, BA.2 accounted for 6.3% of new cases, which means that the variant’s share of infections more than doubled the week before, also.
Given the continued rapid spread of BA.2 in other regions where it took root earlier — such as the U.K., South Africa, Singapore, India and the Northeast United States — it’s likely that in the 2 weeks since the newest numbers were tallied it has become dominant in L.A., as well.
In fact, this week’s CDC data map shows that’s the case in the three state region comprised of California, Nevada and Arizona. See graphic below.
The spread of the highly-infectious variant, however, has not yet translated into an overall rise in virus-related hospitalizations in the U.S. Health officials say that is likely attributable to relatively high numbers of Americans who are now vaccinated.
L.A. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said today that, as of Sunday, only about 3% of visits to hospital emergency departments in the county are Covid-related. That’s a long, long way from the bad old days at the end of 2021.
“Despite the BA.2 increases that we’re starting to see, they’re not resulting yet in increases in Covid-19 emergency department visits,” she said.
The county is, however, seeing a leveling off of case number declines that have marked the past

3 Times More Los Angeles Residents Infected With Covid Than Previously Reported, Says Study
A new state study suggests the number of people in Los Angeles County who have been infected with Covid-19 during the pandemic is far greater than the number confirmed through standard testing. That’s due largely to the number of people who never developed symptoms and so never got tested, or who couldn’t access tests, L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said today.
