RESUMEN
Hong Kong reported 12,631 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 213 deaths in the first two years of the pandemic but experienced a major wave predominantly of Omicron BA.2.2 in early 2022 with over 1.1 million reported SARS-CoV-2 infections and more than 7900 deaths. Our data indicated a shorter incubation period, serial interval, and generation time of infections with Omicron than other SARS-CoV-2 variants. Omicron BA.2.2 cases without a complete primary vaccination series appeared to face a similar fatality risk to those infected in earlier waves with the ancestral strain.
