MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health reported Thursday 425 new COVID-19 infections, the highest in over two months.

 

This brought the number of active cases in the country to 3,462.

 

Why this matters

 

  • The figure was the biggest daily rise since April 3, when the Philippines reported 690 additional cases.
  • According to the DOH, there was a slight increase in COVID-19 cases amid the detection of more transmissible Omicron subvariants, increased mobility, and waning vaccine immunity.
  • Metro Manila will remain under Alert Level 1—the laxest quarantine classification—until the end of June despite an uptick in COVID-19 cases.
  • The slight increase in cases has so far not translated into high severe and critical hospital admissions, the DOH said.
