MANILA - The Philippines has hit another grim milestone, tallying over three million Covid-19 infections so far as the highly transmissible Omicron variant of the coronavirus tears through the capital

and surrounding cities as well as provinces.

Vietnam has recorded some 15,000 a day while Thailand, which is also experiencing a surge, has some 8,000 daily infections. Indonesia has seen Omicron cases tripling in a week, with the health ministry saying the number hit 414 on Saturday. But he believed it was too soon to say if the surge had indeed reached a peak, noting that while infections seemed to be slowing down in Metro Manila, cases were still climbing elsewhere.

More than half of hospital beds in Metro Manila are currently occupied, which the government sees as still acceptable, considering the explosion in cases in recent weeks.
