Intended for healthcare professionals, this six-minute explainer video covers the emerging genomic and diagnostic information on the BA.2 sub-lineage of the Omicron variant of the SARS-COV-2 virus, the causative agent of COVID-19. Recently, this sub-lineage has been in news headlines as a 'stealth' variant and because its incidence is rising in Europe and other parts of the world. While the situation continues to be fluid, according to the United Kingdom Health Security Agency, compared to the BA.1 sub-lineage, the BA.2 sub-lineage has a higher transmissibility and vaccines continue to offer similar levels of protection against symptomatic disease for both BA.1 and BA.2 sub-lineages.
