Transmission Potential of the Omicron Variant of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in South Korea, 25 November 2021–8 January 2022

Our study indicates sustained transmission (effective reproduction number, 1.3; serial interval, 4.2 days; regional doubling times, 3.3–11.4 days) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant (N = 2351) in South Korea (25 November 2021–8 January 2022), implicati...

description Our study indicates sustained transmission (effective reproduction number, 1.3; serial interval, 4.2 days; regional doubling times, 3.3–11.4 days) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant (N = 2351) in South Korea (25 November 2021–8 January 2022), implicating insufficient protection through vaccination and supporting nonpharmaceutical control measures.
