“That’s for nationwide…We already have 3,800 [cases] just last Saturday. It’s possible we can reach up to 4,000,” OCTA Research Fellow Guido David told CNN Philippines’ The Source.
“Currently, what we are projecting is that the number of cases will just hover around these numbers, around 2,000,” he told ANC’s “Rundown.”“Even before, we are projecting that this kind of dynamic will happen even until the end of 2022.” David, however, said: “As we mentioned, it’s the ‘ber’ months now. We may see an increase in cases, but it may reach up to 2,000 per day in Metro Manila or so and maybe 4,000 nationwide like we see in the past few days. Hopefully, cases subside soon.”
Hospitalization rates remain low, however, David noted the return of face-to-face classes, the optional mask mandate, and waning immunity could be among the reasons behind the increasing cases, as well as the possible entry of a new subvariant that the country has not detected yet. Rabajante also noted that the country’s healthcare utilization rate for COVID-19 remained manageable. As coronavirus restrictions have loosened, he urged authorities to continue monitoring the pandemic situation.
