The Region provided the following note regarding the Omicron surge in cases:
- Impact of Omicron surge: The recent surge in Omicron cases means that testing capacity is limited and case, contact, and outbreak management has been modified to focus on high-risk settings. As a result, the number of cases reported in the dashboard is an underestimate of the true number of cases in the community, and outbreaks will be underreported. Data completeness may also be impacted. As the situation evolves, modifications to the dashboard may become necessary to align with the information available given these revised testing and disease management practices.
