Data suggest Metro Manila may already have Delta variant community transmission: OCTA

There might be 300 new cases of Delta variant per day in the capital region, based on the percentage of its cases out of the country's total infections, said Professor Guido David.

As of Wednesday last week, a total of 216 Delta variant cases have been detected in the country, out of 9,725 samples that went through genome sequencing. Only 16 are active, eight have died, and the remaining 192 have recovered. The threat of the Delta variant is the last remaining "hurdle" for the country this year, said David.

President Rodrigo Duterte last week announced that the capital region will be placed under strict lockdown or enhanced community quarantine from August 6 to 20 to arrest the spread of the highly transmissible variant.

Tama na ang pananako. Paano niyo alam ito may xray vision ba kayo to know the delta variant is spreading in the Phil's. Panay pananakot at control ang ginagawa niyo kay juan dela cruz at Isabel. Hubot hubad na sila, binabalatan niyo pa, mga walang hiya kayo!

And data shows that OCTA is an alarmist organization.

Meron na talaga yan ... Mabagal lang talaga kumilos DOH ...😂😂😂

e anong sinasabi ng DOH na wala pa community transmission

there will be no more transmission if and when everybody is infected. peace🤠hehe

Meron na yan. Kanya kanyang pag-iingat na lang, magpabakuna kung may vaccines. Mahirap umasa sa gobyernong walang plano kundi lockdown.
