MANILA: Highly infectious variants of Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, were predominant among sample cases of the disease taken from around the country and recently analysed by government health experts.
The Department of Health (DOH) also said that nearly half of the detected variant cases were in Metro Manila and the rest were in seven other regions.
Genetic studies showed that 642 out of 752 latest Covid-19 samples, or 80 percent, bore either the contagious B.1.1.7 or B.1.351 variants, which were first detected in the United Kingdom and South Africa, respectively, or the potentially contagious P.3 variant first found in the Philippines.
In the NCR, where infections are high, occupancy rate is more than 60%.
The Ninoy Aquino Stadium, the Rizal Memorial Coliseum and the Ligtas 3-COVID-19 facility in Las Pinas are about 90% occupied.
Unused classrooms at the Ateneo De Manila University (AdMU), University of the Philippines (UP)-Diliman, De La Salle-College of St. Benilde (DLS-CSB), and Adamson University (AdU) are already being utilized as temporary isolation facilities.
There are currently 15 modular hospital units with 516 beds nationwide which were built to serve as an “extension” to accommodate more COVID-19 patients.
The DPWH is building more quarantine facilities and modular hospitals to keep up with the spike of new COVID cases – 724 facilities by the end of April, and 300 rooms in modular hospitals by May.
