“After the exponential omicron surge, health agencies including the US CDC are saying sequencing rates are no longer meaningful,” said the head of the agency’s surveillance analytics team, Kim Eun-jin. She claimed that Korea was “sequencing far more” than the globally recommended standard.
The agency said from the start of the pandemic through April 16 this year, there have been 55,906 cases of suspected reinfection, of which 55,841 were second infections and 65 of them for the third time. Among them 72 developed severe symptoms and 52 died.
