This is as the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines Inc. called on the public to keep wearing face masks amid the reported increase in coronavirus cases, which may overwhelm its members anew.
“Expectedly, cases are increasing because of increased mobility, face-to-face classes, and maybe because this factor of optional outdoor masking is coming into play. But the important thing is, severe and critical cases at hospitals should not rise,” she said.Vergeire explained that infections are due to multiple factors, including a person’s activities and lifestyle, the characteristics of circulating variants, the environment, and the opening up of different sectors.
The Philippines logged 17,891 new COVID-19 cases from September 19 to 25, 2022 — 22% higher than those logged from September 12 to 18, the DOH noted. “Although it is not getting worse, it seems that our hospital utilization rate is not rising, but we still see that those who are testing positive are increasing,” De Grano added.
“The DOH itself would recommend to the Office of the President if we see that specific to this policy is the reason why cases are rising,” she said.* The government’s special vaccination days dubbed “Bakunahang Bayan” will be extended until October 1, the DOH said Tuesday, after Monday’s launch of the nationwide campaign in Luzon was postponed due to super typhoon Karding.
