Cases are up in 70% of provinces, cities but the Philippines is still at low risk from COVID-19 —DOH

Despite an increase in cases in 70% of the country, highly urbanized cities, and independent component cities, according to the Department of Health, the Philippines is still considered low-risk for COVID-19 (DOH).

Despite the fact that the number of cases has increased in 70% of the country's provinces, highly urbanized cities, and independent component cities, the Philippines has retained its low-risk classification for COVID-19, according to the Department of Health (DOH).

"Despite good case growth in 70% of provinces, HUCs, and ICCs across all island groups, it is crucial to highlight that the Philippines remains in the low-risk case classification," the government said in a written answer to media questions. "It's worth noting that the Philippines is still classified as a low-risk instance."

According to the Department of Health, serious and critical cases account for less than 1.5 percent of all hospital admissions in the United States.

As a result, the Department of Health has placed a high priority on the importance of minimum public health standards.

According to what was claimed, masking, ventilation, and sanitation are key treatments that complement vaccination in minimizing the risks of transmission among our group.

The Philippines discovered the easier-to-transmit Omicron subvariant BA.4 in May, and they validated the local transmission of the Omicron subvariant BA.2.12.1, of which 22 copies have already been found.

As of right now, there have been a total of 3,690,707 instances documented in the Philippines, with 2,320 people now unwell and 60,455 people dying as a result of the disease.
