    NSW Health COVID-19 Whole Genome Sequencing surveillance, showing the estimated weekly distribution of SARS-CoV-2 sub-lineages from 1 April 2025 to 3 October 2026. • Stacked area chart shows the changing proportions of COVID-19 variants in NSW. • NB.1.8.1 (pink): Dominant throughout much of 2026, approximately 60–65% in early October. • XFG (orange): Approximately 20% in early October. • BA.3.2 (teal): Approximately 5–6%. • JN.1 (purple): Approximately 4–5%. • Other lineages: Make up the remaining proportion. • Earlier variants, including PE.1.4, XEC and LP.8.1, declined over time. • Sequencing uses a subset of positive PCR samples and may not represent all COVID-19 infections across NSW.
