Britain's economy grew stronger than expected in November before the Omicron variant struck, bouncing back for the first time above pre-pandemic levels.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP) had risen 0.9% during the month, up from a just 0.1% rise in October.
Analysts had predicted a 0.4% rise in November.
It meant the world's fifth-biggest economy was 0.7% bigger than it was in February 2020, the ONS said.
Office for National Statistics chief economist Grant Fitzner said: "The economy grew strongly in the month before Omicron struck, with architects, retailers, couriers and accountants having a bumper month.
"Construction also recovered from several weak months as many raw materials became easier to get hold of.
"This meant that monthly GDP exceeded its pre-pandemic level for the first time in November."
