2:12 p.m. | CDPHE adds new BA.2.75 COVID-19 omicron subvariant to state's data dashboard
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is adding the BA.2.72 omicron subvariant to the state's data dashboard during its daily COVID-19 update. The variant was first detected in the state's wastewater system the week of July 25, health officials said in a news release.
Though the BA.2.75 subvariant was first detected in India in May, very little is known about how infectious it may be or whether it can cause reinfections in people who've recovered from previous sublineages of the omicron variant, including the BA.4/5 subvariants, the latter making up the majority of cases in the U.S. and across Colorado.
The subvariant makes up 0.8% of all statewide infections, according to the CDPHE.
