PH may see 9K Covid-19 cases by end of September
The Department of Health (DOH) projects a daily increase of up to 9,000 COVID-19 cases by the end of September to October, should minimum health protocols not be strictly followed.
This projection is attributed to the observed rise in mobility patterns following the resumption of face-to-face classes.
DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire stated that increased mobility, particularly with children and parents going out for school, contributes to the potential rise in transmission.
Vergeire emphasized the importance of complying with minimum public health standards and maintaining vaccination rates to mitigate the expected surge.
