a: This data changes rapidly and might not reflect doses still being reported. It may differ from other sites & sources.
b: Where data for full vaccinations is available, it shows how many people have received at least 1 dose and how
many people have been fully vaccinated (which may require more than 1 dose).Where data for full vaccinations isn't
available, the data shows the total number of vaccine doses given to people. Since some vaccines require more than
1 dose, the number of fully vaccinated people is likely lower.
c: It only has full vaccination totals in some locations.

At the country level, the highest numbers of new weekly cases were reported from Japan (1 496 968 new cases;+9%), the United States of America (759 806 new cases; -19%), the Republic of Korea (713 078 new cases; +26%),
Viet Nam (571 458 new cases), and Türkiye# (406 322 new cases). The highest numbers of new weekly deaths
were reported from the United States of America (2764 new deaths; -2%), Brazil (1445 new deaths; -21%), Italy(1059 new deaths; -12%), Japan (1002 new deaths; +53%), and Spain (654 new deaths; +23%).
Current trends in reported COVID-19 cases and deaths should be interpreted with caution as several countries
have been progressively changing COVID-19 testing strategies, resulting in lower overall numbers of tests
performed and consequently lower numbers of cases detected. Additionally, data from countries arecontinuously updated by WHO to incorporate changes in reported COVID-19 cases and deaths made bycountries retrospectively.

4Special Focus: Update on SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest and variants of concern
Geographic spread and prevalence of VOCs

Globally, from 8 July to 8 August 2022, 175 384 sequences were collected and uploaded to GISAID. Among these,
174 089 sequences were Omicron variant of concern (VOC), accounting for 99% of sequences reported globallyin the past 30 days.
A comparison of sequences submitted to GISAID in epidemiological week 30 (24 to 30 July 2022) and week 29(17 to 23 July 2022) shows that BA.5 Omicron descendent lineages continue to be dominant globally, with anincrease in weekly prevalence from 68.9% to 69.7%. Within the same time period, the weekly prevalence of
Omicron descendent lineages BA.4, BA.2.12.1 and BA.2 decreased globally: BA.4 decreased from 10.8% to 9.1%,
BA.2.12.1 decreased from 2.4% to 1.3% and BA.2 decreased from 1.4% to 1.0%.
BA.5 descendent lineages (BA.5.X) are increasing in diversity, with additional mutations in spike and non-spike
regions. WHO continues to monitor all lineages, including descendent lineages of VOCs, to track an increase inprevalence and change in viral characteristics.
Current trends describing the circulation of Omicron descendent lineages should be interpreted with due
consideration of the limitations of SARS-CoV-2 surveillance systems, including differences in sequencing capacity
and sampling strategies between countries, as well as changes in sampling strategies and reductions in testingand sequences being conducted and shared from countries around the world.
For more information on the assessment of SARS-CoV-2 variants and the WHO classification refer to Annex 2.

WHO regional overviews:

Region of the Americas

Epidemiological week 1 - 7 August 2022**

African Region

The Region of the Americas reported over 1.3 million new cases, a 22%
decrease as compared to the previous week. Four of 56 (7%) countries forwhich data are available reported increases in the number of new cases of
20% or greater, with some of the greatest proportional increases observed in
Haiti (168 vs 33 new cases; +409%), Saba (22 vs seven new cases; +214%), andthe Dominican Republic (3930 vs 2695 new cases; +46%). The highest
numbers of new cases were reported from the United States of America (759806 new cases; 229.5 new cases per 100 000; -19%), Brazil (203 772 newcases; 95.9 new cases per 100 000; -28%), and Chile (63 595 new cases; 332.7
new cases per 100 000; +13%).

The African Region reported just under 12 000 new cases, a 46% decrease ascompared to the previous week. Five (10%) countries reported an increase in
the number of new cases of 20% or greater, with some of the greatest
proportional increases seen in Ghana (179 vs 120 new case; +49%), Algeria(767 vs 602 new cases; +27%), and Mayotte (385 vs 313 new cases; +23%).
The highest numbers of new cases were reported from Réunion (5823 newcases; 650.4 new cases per 100 000 population; +2%), Burundi (1096 newcases; 9.2 new cases per 100 000; -36%), and Nigeria (908 new cases; <1 newcase per 100 000; -39%).

The number of new weekly deaths reported in the Region decreased by 10%
as compared to the previous week, with over 6000 deaths reported. The
highest numbers of new weekly deaths were reported from the United Statesof America (2764 new deaths; <1 new death per 100 000; -2%), Brazil (1445
new deaths; <1 new death per 100 000; -21%), and Mexico (374 new deaths;<1 new death per 100 000; -27%).

The number of new weekly deaths in the Region decreased by 73% ascompared to the previous week, with 25 deaths reported. The highest
numbers of new deaths were reported from Réunion (seven new deaths; <1
new death per 100 000 population; similar to the previous week) andZimbabwe (seven new deaths; <1 new death per 100 000; +40%). The decline
in the number of cases and deaths reported in the Region should beinterpreted with caution following the changes of reporting from daily toweekly or batch reporting by several countries, including South Africa.

In the South-East Asia Region, the number of new cases remained stable forthe second consecutive week, with over 186 000 new cases reported. Two of
the 10 countries (20%) for which data are available showed increases in thenumber of new cases of 20% or greater: Timor-Leste (35 vs 18 new cases;+94%) and Sri Lanka (1025 vs 839 new cases; +22%). The highest numbers of
new cases were reported from India (125 921 new cases; 9.1 new cases per
100 000; -4%), Indonesia (37 880 new cases; 13.8 new cases per 100 000;-2%), and Thailand (15 433 new cases; 22.1 new cases per 100 000; +8%).

The Western Pacific Region continues to report an increasing trend in cases
since the end of June 2022, with over 3.3 million new cases reported, a 29%
increase as compared to the previous week. Five (15%) countries reported

Annex 1. Data, table, and figure notes
Data presented are based on official laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths reported to WHO by
country/territories/areas, largely based upon WHO case definitions and surveillance guidance. While steps are taken to
ensure accuracy and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and change, and caution must be taken wheninterpreting these data as several factors influence the counts presented, with variable underestimation of true case anddeath incidences, and variable delays to reflecting these data at the global level. Case detection, inclusion criteria, testing
strategies, reporting practices, and data cut-off and lag times differ between countries/territories/areas. A small numberof countries/territories/areas report combined probable and laboratory-confirmed cases. Differences are to be expected
between information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and other sources.
A record of historic data adjustment made is available upon request by emailing epi-data-support@who.int. Please specify
the countries of interest, time period, and purpose of the request/intended usage. Prior situation reports will not beedited; see covid19.who.int for the most up-to-date data. COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths reported in the last
seven days by countries, territories, and areas, and WHO Region (reported in previous issues) are now available at:https://covid19.who.int/table.
‘Countries’ may refer to countries, territories, areas or other jurisdictions of similar status. The designations employed,
and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO
concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its
frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not
yet be full agreement. Countries, territories, and areas are arranged under the administering WHO region. The mentionof specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are endorsed or recommended by
WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not mentioned. Errors and omissions except, the names ofproprietary products are distinguished by initial capital letters.

All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations Security Council resolution
1244 (1999). In the map, the number of cases of Serbia and Kosovo (UNSCR 1244, 1999) have been aggregated forvisualization purposes.
Updates of an outbreak of COVID-19 reported in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continue through official
media since 12 May 2022; however, at present, no confirmed cases or deaths have been reported to WHO.
#For some countries, it was not possible to calculate the weekly percentage change in the number of cases and / or deaths
due to either batch reporting or no reporting during the last week.

9Annex 2. SARS-CoV-2 variants assessment and classification
WHO, in collaboration with national authorities, institutions and researchers, routinely assesses if variants of SARSCoV-2 alter transmission or disease characteristics, or impact the effectiveness of vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics
or public health and social measures (PHSM) applied to control disease spread. Potential variants of concern (VOCs),variants of interest (VOIs) or variants under monitoring (VUMs) are regularly assessed based on the risk posed to
global public health.
The classifications of variants will be revised as needed to reflect the continuous evolution of circulating variants andtheir changing epidemiology. Criteria for variant classification, and the lists of currently circulating and previously
circulating VOCs, VOIs and VUMs, are available on the WHO Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants website. National
authorities may choose to designate other variants and are strongly encouraged to investigate and report newly
emerging variants and their impact.
