- Additional of JN.1 (B.1.1.529.2.86.1.1) tp tracked lineages (previously included in BA.2.86)
- Removal of XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 (now reported under XBB)
- Addition of HK.3 (XBB.1.9.2.5.1.1.3) to tracked lineages. Previously included under EG.5
- Addition of BA.2.86 (B.1.1.529.2.86) to tracked lineages
- Adjustment to XBC, with XBC.1.3 not longer tracked seperately and a new XBC group to capture all XBC lineages added.
- Addition of EG.5 to tracked lineages
- This lineage was previously reported as part of th parent "XBB" group
- Addiction of XBC.1.3 to tracked lineages
- This lineage was previously included in the generic "Recombinant" category
- Major chane to list of tracked lineages.
- BQ.1.1, XBF and XBC are no longer tracked separately
- XBB is broken down to include XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16 and XBB (i.e. all others)
- CH.1.1 is broken to include FK.1.1 and CH.1.1 (i.e all others)

-
Added CH.1.1 (including all descent lineages) to tracked lineages. Prior to this change this lineage was included in BA.2.75 (reflecting
pangolin
designation) -
Added XBF (including all descent lineages) to tracked lineages. Prior to this change most XBF genomes were included in BA.2 (reflecting one of the ancestors of this recom
- Included RBD levels file, tracking convergence of key spike proteins (seee https://virological.org/t/sars-cov-2-evolution-post-omicron/911#post_1)
-
Added XBC (including all descendant lineages) to list of tracked variants
- prior to change XBC genomes were not assigned to a VOC, so excluded from summary data
-
Retired BA.4.6 from the list of tracked variants
- genomes identified as BA.4.6 previously will now be included in BA.4
- Added XBB (including all descendant lineages) to list of tracked variants
- Prior to this change most XBB genomes were identified as BA.2 (reflecting
pangolin
designation)
- Added BQ.1.1 to list of tracked variants
- Values for BA.5 now exclude this lineage and its descendants
- added
data/all_variant_counts.csv
file - community and border cases files will no longer be updated as these classes of case can no longer be reliably distinguised.
- added BA.4.6 to all datasaets
- Values for BA.4 are all BA.4 excluding this specific lineage
- added BA.2.75 to both datasets.
- retired BA.2.12.1, as this lineage is not longer a focus of ESR reporting.
- rolling meaning for VOC is now 'right-aligned' (i.e. is mean of the preceding 7 days), meaning most-recent dates are no longer NA-padded.
- prettified the example plot a tiny bit
