Daily cases of COVID-19 may reach 18,000 as of Nov. 15, the Ministry of Health (DOH) said.
DOH rate officer Maria Rosario Vergeire said the figure is at its Oct. 11 projection and does not yet take into account the recent detection of the Omicron XBB subvariant and the XBC variant of the coronavirus.
“The minimum component for that would be 2,400 instances consistent with the day and component, if there is a reduction in practice of the minimum fitness standards, we can see up to 18,000 instances consistent with the day until November 15,” he said.
The government has since lifted the mask mandate and resumed in-person learning in schools.
Vergeire said the COVID-19 scenario in the country was “manageable. “
“I think we’re getting to the point where COVID becomes manageable because we’re already prepared,” he said.
In the fight against COVID-19, the Philippines has the capacity to test, stumble and isolate cases, take samples and mobilize localities to vaccinate the public, he said.
“For next year, we still expect to have cases. But our hope is that because we continue with vaccination, it may not be so bad that patients want to be hospitalized,” Vergeire said.
As of October 17, more than 73. 4 million Filipinos were fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Of these, more than 20. 3 million received their first booster dose, while more than 3. 2 million received their momentary booster dose.
Despite emerging infections in most parts of the country, the Philippines still has a low level of COVID-19, the DOH said.
From October 11 to 17, the country recorded another 15,144 cases of COVID-19, an average of 2,163 infections.
In terms of fitness formula capacity, all spaces are low-threat to the overall bed and extensive care use rates, the firm added.
