Extended Data Fig. 3. Global distribution of Omicron.

Extended Data Fig. 3

(A) Detection of Omicron globally. Shown are the locations for which Omicron genomes have been deposited on GISAID as of December 16, 2021. Those labelled as “reported” referred to the country from which Omicron has been reported to the WHO but there is currently no sequencing data available in GISAID, all data comes from GISAID and the WHO weekly epidemiology report Edition 70 dated December 14, 2021 (https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/20211207_Weekly_Epi_Update_69-%281%29.pdf). Countries are coloured according to the number of genomes deposited with warmer colours representing more genomes. (B) Omicron transmission globally. Shown are countries for which Omicron sequencing data is available on GISAID. Proportions of sequences are coloured according to sampling strategy or additional host/location information from either travel history, targeted sequencing (specifically for SGTF, vaccine breakthroughs, outbreaks, contact tracing or other reasons), routine surveillance or unknown if no information has been provided. Countries are ordered by the number of sequences available on GISAID as of December 16, 2021.
