The Philippines is still at low risk for COVID-19 despite the slight increase in admissions in intensive care units (ICU) nationwide, the Department of Health (DOH) said Friday.
This as the independent OCTA Research Group said COVID-19 infections in Metro Manila may have already peaked amid a slower growth rate.
“We noticed that the growth rate is going down in Metro Manila. Actually, in Iloilo, too,” he said in Filipino. “What we noticed is that before, we had 0 deaths. Now we are in the 20s, so we know COVID is still here,” he said. Of the 190 new BA.5 cases, 175 have recovered, while seven were undergoing isolation, and the status of the remaining eight patients was being verified, said Vergeire.
