SARS-CoV-2 viral load distribution of respiratory samples included in the study. A Shown is the log10 viral load (Geq/ml) of 70 SARS-CoV-2-positive Omicron-BA.1 (blue) and 70 SARS-CoV-2-positive Omicron-BA.2 (red) patient samples, sorted by ascending magnitude of the viral load from left to right. Each dot indicates one patient and the sample’s ID is indicated. B Shown is the correlation of the viral loads (Geq/ml) for both Omicron-BA.1 and -BA.2 to the Ct-values, which were obtained with the Cobas 6800 system. C Depicted is the histogram of the viral load distribution for Omicron-BA.1 by categorization of samples into defined log10 viral load ranges. Each histogram bar indicates the number of samples in the respective viral load range. D Depicted is the histogram of the viral load distribution for Omicron-BA.2 by categorization of samples into defined log10 viral load ranges. Each bar indicates the number of samples in the respective viral load range
