UVA COVID-19 Modeling Weekly Update

Key Takeaways

  • Cases have increased from recent lows, nationally and in several regions of Virginia.
  • Omicron’s BA.2 subvariant is dominant in Virginia and nationally, while the BA.2.12.1 subvariant is beginning to make inroads, particularly in New York and the Northeast.
  • Behavior changes and Omicron’s subvariants may drive a summer surge. The model suggests case and hospitalization peaks somewhere between levels seen during the Delta and Omicron waves.
  • Projected deaths are much lower than previous waves, as Virginia’s immunity profile continues to improve due to vaccinations, boosters and previous infections, and as treatments become available.
