Household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant of concern subvariants BA.1 and BA.2 in Denmark

In this study, the authors use household data from Denmark to investigate the transmissibility of the BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron SARS-CoV-2 subvariants. They find that the secondary attack rate was higher for BA.2, but that it had higher infectiousness only when cases were not vaccinated.
