The head of the Philippine College of Physicians said that the country is currently in the “fourth wave” of coronavirus disease infections amid the continued increase in cases.
In an article last Sept. 9, The Conversation said that the country “has experienced four waves of COVID-19.” The first one was in April 2020. The second wave was experienced from early June to August of 2020. And the third wave was in April 2021. “The current wave is longer compared to the previous surge of cases. We started getting to have full occupancy in our ICU beds from third to last week of July and until now we see more cases,” Solante said in a text message to the Manila Bulletin.
“We also experienced a very high secondary attack among household of confirmed positives. This means higher household transmission compared to previous surge of cases,” he added.Infectious disease expert Dr. Edsel Salvana believed that the trend of COVID-19 cases should not be coined as “wave.”
So what if it is the 5th, 10th,17th, 25th etc?
Hindi naman naramdaman fourth wave na pala akala ko long first wave pa hahahaha
