- W4387405906 abstract "<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> This study updates the COVID-19 pandemic surveillance in South Asia we first conducted in 2020 with two additional years of data for the region. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> First, we aim to measure whether there was an expansion or contraction in the pandemic in South Asia when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the end of the public health emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic on May 5, 2023. Second, we use dynamic and genomic surveillance methods to describe the history of the pandemic in the region and situate the window of the WHO declaration within the broader history. Third, we aim to provide historical context for the course of the pandemic in South Asia. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> In addition to updates of traditional surveillance data and dynamic panel estimates from the original study Welch et al. (2021), this study used data on sequenced SARS-CoV-2 variants from the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) to identify the appearance and duration of variants of concern. We used Nextclade nomenclature to collect clade designations from sequences and Pangolin nomenclature for lineage designations of SARS-CoV-2. Finally, we conducted a one-sided t-test for whether regional weekly speed or transmission rate per 100,000 population was greater than an outbreak threshold of ten. We ran the test iteratively with six months of data across the sample period. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Speed for the region remained below the outbreak threshold for over a year by the time of the WHO declaration. Acceleration and jerk were also low and stable. While the 1-day persistence coefficients remained statistically significant and positive (1.168), the 7-day persistence coefficient was negative (-0.185), suggesting limited cluster effects in which cases on a given day predict cases seven days forward. Furthermore, the shift parameters for either of the two most recent weeks around May 5, 2023, did not indicate any overall change in the persistence measure around the time of WHO declaration. From December of 2021 onward, Omicron was the predominant variant of concern in sequenced viral samples. The rolling t-test of speed equal to ten was statistically insignificant across the entire pandemic. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> While COVID-19 continues to circulate in South Asia, the rate of transmission had remained below the outbreak threshold for well over a year ahead of the WHO declaration. COVID-19 is endemic in the region and no longer reaches the threshold of the pandemic definition. Both standard and enhanced surveillance metrics confirm that the pandemic had ended by the time of the WHO declaration. </sec>" @default.
