More than a month after battling the Covid-19 variant Omicron, the country has returned to minimal risk-case classification, the Department of Health said on Monday, March 7.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said during the President’s late night public address that the country’s two week growth rate is at negative 59.All regions registered low-risk total bed utilization and Intensive Care Unit utilization rates as well. When asked by the President on how the cases dipped, Duque attributed the country’s low Covid-19 case numbers to vaccination and the protection that people have received from natural infection or the so-called natural immunity.“We’ve had about five surges already including the most recent which is Omicron and this means marami na rin pong nainfect na atin pong mga kababayan ,” he added.
He noted, however, that most of these cases are mild or asymptomatic which accounts 92 to 94 percent of the total number cases. The country’s seven-day average daily cases is at 899 or 30 percent lower than the figures from Feb. 22 to Feb. 28. Among the new cases, 3 or 0.05 percent are with severe and critical Covid-19 infection.
