From the article:
The omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has led to a spike in infections in Brazil with a rolling average of 69 010 new daily cases reported on 14 January, up from 22 626 a week earlier. But the true increase is likely to be significantly higher because of insufficient testing and failing public health databases, said public health experts.
