"In coming weeks, the BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron will likely become the dominant strain of COVID-19 in New South Wales.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard has warned that case numbers will quickly double as a result.
"We are concerned at this point that BA.2 is amongst us and overtaking BA.1," Mr Hazzard told a budget estimates hearing"

Why Health Minister Ong Ye Kung still unaware or not heard of BA.2 yet.?
They will closely monitor the situation but as far as they know it is not deadly as Delta but many with omicron r having terrible experience with the symptoms... n their narrative is mild

BA.2 had fewer than a hundred reported cases in US in January, it now accounts for about 12 per cent of cases there now.
It has been present in Australia since January as well, but it is not known how much it has spread.
With so many people getting results from rapid antigen tests, it is difficult to tell how many people have BA.2 as opposed to another strain.
The mutant appears much more common in Asia and Europe. In Denmark, it made up 45% of all COVID-19 cases in mid-January, up from 20% two weeks earlier, according to Statens Serum Institut, which falls under the Danish Ministry of Health.
Someone thought AU knew about BA2 before SG ?? lol
