The number of cases of covid 19 is at low 193 now; however as predicted by DOH the number may reach 60,000 a day because of:
1. Latest variant brought in by a foreigner from Europe who went to Baguio; 44 contacts.
Covidsubvariant 2.12 detected in Baguio visitor The 52 year old visitor from Finland who
lectured on digital loom weaving in Cordilllera has recovered and returned to her home country.
2. Absence of or non observance of social distancing;
3. Frequent close contacts because of parade, meetings, and the voting on May 9, 2023
We have to be braced for this; We can not be complacent. Because it means return of lockdown, limited mobility and reduction of economic activity. More hardships.
This may be bad news for the public at large but good news for hospital, other health facilities like diagnostic centers pharma whose business are in doldrums. A hospital I know has an entire floor for covid experiencing 0 admissions.
