  1. Delta estimates are produced over individuals admitted to hospital between 1 July 2021 and 14 December 2021, Omicron and mixed-Omicron-Delta estimates are produced over individuals admitted to hospital between 15 December 2021 and 7 February 2022. For each of the Delta, Omicron-Delta, and Omicron (HNE) analyses, there were (3, 1128, 6) censored individuals in the ward, (0, 4, 114) in the ICU, and (1, 135, 10) in the post-ICU ward, respectively
