Global COVID-19 infections hit a record high over the past seven-day period, Reuters data showed on Wednesday, as the Omicron variant raced out of control and governments wrestled with how to contain its spread without paralysing fragile economies.

Almost 900 000 cases were detected on average each day around the world between December 22 and 28, with myriad countries posting new all-time highs in the previous 24 hours, including the United States, Australia, many in Europe and Bolivia.

Spain said on Wednesday it was reducing the quarantine period for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 to seven days from 10, while Italy said it was planning to relax isolation rules for those who came into close contact with sufferers of the virus. “I am highly concerned that Omicron, being highly transmissible and spreading at the same time as Delta, is leading to a tsunami of cases.”

While the current seven-day daily average of cases is about 240 400 per day, up 60% over the previous week, the hospitalisation rate for the same period is up just 14% to about 9 000 per day over the same period.It is unclear so far the degree to which Omicron’s rapid spread may be hampering a US economy that appears solidly on track to end the year at a gang-buster growth rate.

Australia registered almost 18 300 new cases, eclipsing Tuesday’s previous pandemic high of around 11 300. However, the WHO’s top emergencies expert, Mike Ryan, said it was too soon to draw definitive conclusions because Omicron was so far circulating largely among younger, less vulnerable age groups.
