Trends in case notification and hospitalisation

Caption

Pooled weekly notification rates increased sharply in all age groups from July 2021 (Figure 1A). We observed concomitant rises in hospitalisation rates in all age groups, but starting from, and reaching, much lower levels in children aged 1–17 years than in adults or children younger than 1 year (Figure 1C). Since January 2021, children have represented an increasing proportion of notified cases and hospital admissions.
