COVID-19 cases in the country may go as low as 500 per day by the end of this month if the downward trend of infection continues, the independent OCTA Research Group said Monday. READ:
In a briefing, OCTA fellow Dr. Guido David said COVID-19 indicators in the National Capital Region are going down, with its seven-day case average now at 210 per day.The positivity rate, or the percentage of persons testing positive for COVID-19, went down to 8.9 percent in the NCR, the lowest since July 4.
David said most of the provinces were also seeing declines in COVID-19 cases, with the national average at 907 cases per day, and a growth rate of minus 30 percent.From Oct. 31 to Nov. 6, an average of 907 daily infections were recorded in the country, which is 30 percent lower compared to the previous week.
A former government adviser on Monday called on the DOH to allow the private sector to procure modified COVID-19 vaccines, or “bivalent vaccines” that target the Omicron variant and the original form of the virus. “When attending recent hearings in the [two] remaining trumped-up charges, with practically jam-packed courtrooms, I felt it was just a matter of time before contracting the virus. So it is that last Saturday, Nov. 5, or a day after the hearing in one of the cases, I started having colds , mild cough, itchy throat, and joint/body aches short of feverish, which prompted the tests,” De Lima said.
