Total cases are the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases, including probable cases and cases confirmed by testing. Note: To help with reference, the World Health Organization (WHO) has assigned Greek letters to variants, such as delta (B.1.617.2) and omicron (B.1.1.529). As of data received through October 3, 2022, the New York State Department of Health is aware of: 2,250,982 laboratory-confirmed breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among fully-vaccinated people in New York State, which corresponds to 16.8 of the population of fully-vaccinated people 5-years or older. This includes people who have had one dose of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine or two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or Moderna vaccine. It may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated, as well as people who had been infected with an earlier omicron subvariant. Some variants may result in a COVID-19 infection that is easier to spread, more severe or able to avoid antibodies from vaccines or previous infections.Ĭurrent evidence suggests that the omicron subvariant currently dominant in NYC, BA.5, may be more contagious than other omicron subvariants.

Variants are versions of the virus with certain sets of mutations. The data on this page show how variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 are spreading in NYC.
