Early changes to the COVID-19 virus were associated with increased survival once a patient was hospitalised, according to a US study. Researchers analysed the health outcomes of 302 COVID-19 patients during the first wave of infection in Cleveland Ohio and the variants they were infected with. They found no variants were associated with a higher hospitalisation rate or admission to ICU, but the more contagious variants were associated with a better chance of survival once in hospital. Over the course of the study, researchers observed the more contagious variants becoming more common in comparison to other variants.
