MANILA, Philippines (Updated 3:26 p.m.) — The Philippines has detected its first cases of the more infectious Omicron BA.5 subvariant, the Department of Health announced Friday.

 

The cases

  • The subvariant was detected in two people from the same household in Central Luzon, according to the DOH.
     
  • It is not known where they contracted the subvariant as they do not have a travel history, except going to their election precincts and office in Metro Manila.
     
  • Both are fully vaccinated and have booster shots.
     
  • Both developed mild symptoms, namely colds and coughs, last May 15 and immediately isolated until May 30. They are now asymptomatic and are recovered.
     
  • Close contacts of the two patients with the subvariant are now undergoing isolation. One of them tested positive, while another tested negative.
