MANILA, Philippines — Tiniyak ng OCTA Research Team na malamang na hindi na maulit pa ang Omicron surge sa Metro Manila dahil sa rami na ng mga pagbabakuna na naisasagawa sa rehiyon.

Sa ngayon ayon kay Dr. Guido David ng OCTA team na unti-unti nang bumababa ang trend ng kaso ng COVID-19 sa Metro Manila.

“[The] trend is really downward, we can be assured… We’re now down to high risk and I think within a few days by next week we’ll be down to moderate risk. In fact, I checked some of the local government data, we already have five local government units (LGUs) under moderate risk and that’s a good sign,” sabi ni David.

Bukod anya sa Metro Manila ay patuloy na rin ang pagbaba ng kaso ng COVID-19 sa karatig lalawigan ng Rizal, Cavite at Bulacan.

Kaugnay nito, sinabi naman ng molecular biologist Fr. Nicanor Austriaco at OCTA fellow na posible namang ang  Omicron surge ay maganap sa mga probinsiya.

“With regards to the provinces, there is a concern and it’s going to be region by region, depending upon the level of vaccination and the health capa­city how the impact of the Omicron surge will be on our kababayans there… I still pray for those other regions. It’s still going to be challenging for some,” pahayag ni  Austriaco.
