Krisis sa Omicron surge, nalampasan na ng Pilipinas-- Duque
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III announced that the Philippines has moved past the crisis stage of the Omicron variant surge.
Duque cited improvements in the country's two-week growth rate, average daily attack rate (ADAR), and healthcare utilization as indicators of this shift.
He stated that the nation is now classified as low risk, with a two-week growth rate of -81% and an ADAR of 7 cases per 100,000 population.
Furthermore, Duque noted that healthcare utilization is low, with just over 30% of bed capacity being used.
He acknowledged that the emergence of the Omicron variant led to a surge in cases after a period of low numbers from November to December.
