The Department of Health (DOH) on Wednesday confirmed the detection of Omicron-BA.2.12 in the country.

Through its Center for Health Development in the Cordillera Administrative Region , the DOH surveillance systems detected BA.2.12 in a 52-year-old Finnish female who arrived from Finland on April 2, 2022.

“The case then traveled to a university in Quezon City and then to Baguio City to conduct seminars. Nine days after her arrival in the country, she experienced mild symptoms such as headache and sore throat. She then tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction the next day, “the DOH said.

The BA.2.12 is a sublineage of the currently circulating Omicron variant. It has been recently flagged by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to be observed in increasing Covid-19 cases in the United States from two weeks ago.
