Seventeen more cases of Omicron XBB.1.16, the latest COVID-19 variant to enter the country, had been reported in the latest biosurveillance report for the period May 15 to May 19. This brought the total cases of the highly transmissible strain to 28.
The DOH reminded the public to continue to use layers of protection against COVID-19 based on one’s risk to the virus as it blamed increased mobility for the gradual rise in infections. “It is also important to note that there are many factors that can be attributed to an increase in cases,” the DOH said in a statement.
“However, as we have lowered our restrictions, individuals are now more mobile to which we may attribute our case increase,” it added.
