OCTA Research Group fellow Fredegusto P. David on Tuesday said cases in the country might go down to about 10,000 by mid-February before falling to further to 5,000 by the end of the month.
The country has been posting almost 10,000 cases daily after a fresh surge in infections spurred by the highly mutated Omicron variant. On Jan. 15, the Philippines posted record daily infections of 39,004. It said 28.8% of 31,053 samples on Jan. 30 tested positive for COVID-19, still above the 5% threshold set by the World Health Organization .
DoH said 30 duplicates had been removed from the tally, 17 of which were recoveries, while 16 recoveries were relisted as deaths. Ten laboratories failed to submit data on Jan. 30. “Our projection is that maybe one to two weeks Metro Manila will be already at low risk,” he said, noting that the positivity rate in the capital region is expected to fall to 10% from 17%.
