“All the cases in Central Visayas with two mutations of concern E484K as well as the N501Y exhibited only mild symptoms and have been cleared from their quarantine,” said PGC Executive Director Dr. Cynthia Saloma during a media briefing hosted by the DOH.
Saloma said that the two mutations were detected in 31 out of 50 swab samples from Central Visayas which were processed for genome sequencing. “Wala pa tayong conclusion na dahil nakita natin itong mutations na ito, ayun na rin yung naging dahilan kung bakit mabilis ang pagtaas ng kaso sa Region 7 ,” said DOH Epidemiology Bureau Officer-in-Charge Dr. Alethea De Guzman.
