COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update
Edition 87, published 12 April 2022
Global overview
Data as of 10 April 2022
Globally, during the week of 4 through 10 April 2022, the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths has continued to decline for a third consecutive week, with over 7 million cases and over 22 000 deaths reported, a decrease of 24% and 18% respectively, as compared to the previous week (Figure 1).
All regions reported decreasing trends in the number of new weekly cases and deaths (Table 1). As of 10 April 2022, over 496 million confirmed cases and over 6 million deaths have been reported globally.
These trends should be interpreted with caution as several countries are progressively changing their COVID-19 testing strategies, resulting in lower overall numbers of tests performed and consequently lower numbers of cases detected.

◐ Special Focus: Update on WHO COVID-19 global rapid risk assessment
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, as does our understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the response needed to control its spread and impact. In WHO’s most recent rapid risk assessment, which was completed on 6 April 2021, the global public health risk was assessed to remain very high due to the ongoing risks to human health, risk of spread and risk of insufficient control capacities.
Under the Emergency Response Framework, WHO undertakes risk assessments and situation analyses on a regular basis to inform its response to emerging situations. In addition, WHO periodically reviews the current risk status of public health events through an in-depth hazard, exposure and context assessment. This also includes a review of the vulnerabilities and capacities available to respond to the public health event and to investigate the current risk to human health, risks of ongoing spread globally, and risk of insufficient control capacities. Such assessments are used as an internal WHO decision-making tool, and to support independent deliberations, including but not limited to meetings of the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) Emergency Committee regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
To date, 13 global rapid risk assessments have been undertaken for COVID-19, and additional assessments have been conducted for specific events, such as the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Here, we provide a synopsis of the most recent in-depth global rapid risk assessment for COVID-19.
Despite a reduction in SARS-CoV-2 testing observed since the beginning of 2022 in many Member States, the COVID-19 pandemic continues with intense transmission and high levels of death primarily among unvaccinated at-risk populations. The highly transmissible Omicron variant of concern has rapidly replaced all other circulating variants in almost all countries in which it has been reported, and has become dominant globally.
Omicron’s properties of immune escape have been associated with the rapid and almost synchronous increase in the global incidence of COVID-19 cases reported until the end of January 2022. A further increase observed at the beginning of March was driven primarily by a delayed increase in case incidence in the Western Pacific Region and a rebound in the number of new cases reported in the European Region. This trend was likely due to a combination of factors, including the predominance of the Omicron Pango lineages BA.1, and then BA.2, with a transmission advantage over other Omicron lineages; relaxation of public health and social measures (PHSM); and waning of humoral immunity following vaccination and/or prior infection. The recent detection of emerging recombinants of the Delta-Omicron and Omicron descendent lineages requires ongoing close monitoring.
Unlike previous waves, the most recent wave due to Omicron can be characterized by a decoupling between the number of cases, hospitalizations (particularly for intensive care) and deaths in many countries. However, data continue to show that those who are unvaccinated remain at higher risk of severe disease following infection with Omicron as compared to those who have been vaccinated. Despite the reduction in severity, the massive increases in cases with Omicron have led to large numbers of hospitalizations, putting further pressure on healthcare systems, and in some countries, similar or higher numbers of deaths when compared to previous peaks.
While vaccine effectiveness (VE) wanes against Omicron for all disease outcomes as compared to other VOCs following the primary vaccination series, VE estimates for Omicron remain the highest for severe disease. Furthermore, there is evidence that a booster dose substantially improves VE for all outcomes; however, more data are needed to characterize the duration of this protection.

The highly transmissible Omicron variant of concern has rapidly replaced all other circulating variants in almost all countries in which it has been reported, and has become dominant globally.
尽管自2022年初以来在许多成员国注意到SARS-CoV-2检测的减少，但新冠疫情仍在继续，主要是在未接种疫苗的高危人群中密集传播并造成大量死亡。令人担忧的高传播性奥密克戎（Omicron）变体已经迅速取代了几乎所有已报告的国家中的所有其他传播变体，并在全球范围内成为主导。

Omicron’s properties of immune escape have been associated with the rapid and almost synchronous increase in the global incidence of COVID-19 cases reported until the end of January 2022.

This trend was likely due to a combination of factors, including the predominance of the Omicron Pango lineages BA.1, and then BA.2, with a transmission advantage over other Omicron lineages; relaxation of public health and social measures (PHSM); and waning of humoral immunity following vaccination and/or prior infection. The recent detection of emerging recombinants of the Delta-Omicron and Omicron descendent lineages requires ongoing close monitoring.
奥密克戎的免疫逃逸（immune escape）特性与2022年1月底之前报告的全球新冠病例发病率的快速且几乎同步增长有关。3月初观察到的进一步增长主要是由于西太平洋地区（Western Pacific Region）病例发病率的延迟增长和欧洲地区报告的新病例数量的反弹。这一趋势可能是由多种因素造成的，包括Omicron Pango BA.1毒株，然后是BA.2毒株，与其他奥密克戎变体相比具传播性；公共卫生和社会措施（PHSM）的放松；以及疫苗接种和/或先前感染后体液免疫力的减弱。最近发现的德尔塔-奥密克戎（Delta-Omicron）新兴重组变体和奥密克戎衍生变体需要持续密切监测。
synchronous
synchronous /ˈsɪŋ.krə.nəs/ 表示“同时的”，英文解释为“happening or done at the same time or speed”举个🌰：
The dancers perform a sequence of wonderfully synchronous movements.
舞者们的一段表演整齐划一，十分奇妙。

Unlike previous waves, the most recent wave due to Omicron can be characterized by a decoupling between the number of cases, hospitalizations (particularly for intensive care) and deaths in many countries. However, data continue to show that those who are unvaccinated remain at higher risk of severe disease following infection with Omicron as compared to those who have been vaccinated. Despite the reduction in severity, the massive increases in cases with Omicron have led to large numbers of hospitalizations, putting further pressure on healthcare systems, and in some countries, similar or higher numbers of deaths when compared to previous peaks.
与以往不同的是，在许多国家，由奥密克戎引起的最新一波疫情的特点是病例数、住院人数（尤其是重症监护）和死亡人数之间关系的脱钩。然而，数据不断表明，与那些已经接种疫苗的人相比，那些未接种疫苗的人在感染奥密克戎后仍然有更高的严重疾病风险。尽管严重程度有所下降，但奥密克戎病例的大量增加导致了大量的住院治疗，给医疗系统带来了进一步的压力。在一些国家，与以前的高峰期相比，死亡人数相近或更高。
decouple

Temperatures have peaked at over 90 degrees.
温度已达到峰值，超过了90度。
While vaccine effectiveness (VE) wanes against Omicron for all disease outcomes as compared to other VOCs following the primary vaccination series, VE estimates for Omicron remain the highest for severe disease. Furthermore, there is evidence that a booster dose substantially improves VE for all outcomes; however, more data are needed to characterize the duration of this protection.
虽然与其他关切变异株（VOC）相比，奥密克戎的疫苗有效性（VE）在初次接种后的所有病症中都有所下降，但奥密克戎在严重疾病中的疫苗有效性估计值仍然最高。此外，有证据表明，加强针可大幅提高所有病症的疫苗有效性；然而，需要更多的数据来确定这种保护的持续时间。
