We have new results on T cell responses to #Omicron, and its good news!
Paper submitted for peer review & preprint:
medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
📢TL;DR: Most of your T cell responses from vaccination or previous infection still recognise Omicron.

Here we go again? 👀
Number of confirmed #COVID19 cases in Gauteng still relatively low, but a noticeable increase: 7-day rolling avg tripling over the past week 📈
Hoping this is just a minor uptick and increase is not sustained 🤲
