Slight uptick in Metro Manila’s Covid cases due to Omicron subvariants — OCTA
The slight uptick in Covid-19 cases in Metro Manila was most likely caused by new Omicron subvariants that were detected in the country, an expert of the OCTA Research Group said on Monday, May 23.
“Itong nakikita natin na mga upticks ng cases, maliit pa lang sa ngayon, tingin natin dala ito ng subvariant na mas nakakahawa kaysa dun sa dati (We think these upticks in cases that we are seeing, although not that much yet, may have been caused by a Covid subvariant that is more contagious than before),” OCTA fellow Dr. Guido David said in a televised briefing.
