THE PHILIPPINES is now safe from the worst threats of the highly infectious BA.5 and BA.4 Omicron subvariants after posting a significant decrease in coronavirus cases, an infectious diseases expert said on Thursday.

“We already passed the worst of the BA5 and BA4,” Rontgene M. Solante, a member of the Health department’s technical advisory group, told a televised news briefing, based on a transcript from the Office of the Press Secretary.

Daily infections now range from 1,000 to 1,500. “In highly populated areas such as the National Capital Region and the provinces of Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod and Davao, cases continue to fall,” he added. Mr. Solante said it remains to be seen whether a recent long weekend holiday would lead to an increase in infections.
