“The COVID-19 Omicron variant, though transmissible, does not result in more severe and critical cases compared to other variants. Data do support the President’s observation,” the DOH said in a statement. It said such figure was less than half of the observed severe and critical cases for the Delta variant recorded from August to October 2021, which was at 8.72%, and the Alpha variant cases recorded March to May 2021 at 6.22%.
For its part, the DOH underscored the importance of maintaining the country’s wall of immunity by ramping up the inoculation of boosters for children aged 12 and above, and the primary vaccine series for kids aged 5 to 12 and senior citizens.
