The positivity rate for COVID-19 rose significantly in four provinces last week, the independent OCTA Research Group said Monday, even as health experts warned of more cases owing to the recent detection of Omicron subvariant BF.7, which is reported READ:
as health experts warned of more cases owing to the recent detection of Omicron subvariant BF.7, which is reported to be fueling the surge of cases in China.
The positivity rate refers to the percentage of people who test positive for COVID-19 out of all who are tested. This rate also rose in Batangas, Bulacan, Ilocos Norte, Nueva Ecija, and Quezon. “We have around 2 million Chinese visitors every year and because of the lack of solid plans in terms of the procurement of the bivalent vaccines, which can address the old Wuhan strain and the new variants, this may be a concern,” Leachon added.
The agency said, however, that current evidence does not suggest any difference in severity or clinical manifestations between the BF.7 and the original Omicron variant. Based on recent data from the DOH, NCR still recorded the greatest number of COVID-19 cases over the last two weeks with 4,887 cases.
The report also marks the third straight day of fewer than 1,000 new daily cases and brought the Philippines’ total cases to 4,061,663.
