MANILA, Philippines (Updated 2:25 p.m.) — The Department of Health confirmed Tuesday the local transmission of the BA.2.12.1 Omicron sub-variant in parts of the country. 

 

In a briefing, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the local transmission of the new Omicron sub-variant is happening in Metro Manila, Puerto Princesa City in Palawan, and Western Visayas. 

 

“Nangangahulugan ito na ang mga kasong na-detect natin ay wala nang kaugnayan sa mga kaso na nagmula sa labas ng bansa. Pero makikita pa rin ang linkages ng mga detected cases,” Vergeire said. 

 

(This means that the detected BA.2.12.1 cases have no connections to imported cases. But we still see the linkages among the detected cases).
