Scottish Government: out of 13,649 confirmed Omicron variants, 91 have required hospital admission and only 1 in ICU/HDU [31 December 2021] - link to source data
I've seen this article floating around today: Only one Scots patient with Omicron has needed intensive care since variant emerged but could not find a source for the data (grumble, grumble, newspapers not putting their sources into articles).
I did some digging and found the data is from the Coronavirus (COVID-19): additional data and information on gov.scot. The Excel spreadsheet has the following data table, last updated on Friday:
| Date reported | Cumulative Confirmed Omicron Cases Admitted to Hospital | Cumulative Confirmed Omicron Cases Admitted to ICU/HDU |
|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2021 | 91 | 1 |
I think this is really encouraging, and hopefully seeing it directly from the source will make some people feel a bit better about the variant outcomes.
