The source of data on pathogen detection is from Contracted Virology Laboratories surveillance.

1. The trend chart includes variants classified by the World Health Organization as current or former variants of interest (VOI), variants under monitoring (VUM), key domestic variants, and others (e.g. recombinant variants). 2. In the future, variant information may be adjusted due to factors such as the inclusion of new variants by the WHO, reclassification/renaming of variants, or the need for enhanced monitoring.
