This report has been published to share the detailed variant surveillance analyses which
contribute to the variant risk assessments and designation of new SARS-CoV-2 variants.
This specialist technical briefing contains early data and analysis on emerging variants and
findings have a high level of uncertainty. Unless stated otherwise, this technical briefing uses a data cut-off of 3 October 2022 to allow time for analyses. The current testing policy needs to be considered when interpreting all variant data; the targeting of testing at specific groups is likely to delay the detection and characterisation of variants
