In terms of individual areas with the most cases, Quezon City leads with 1,136 infections, Cavite with 1,017 and Davao Del Sur with 854.
Meanwhile, only 8,401 tests were conducted on Nov. 1, which will reflect the number of cases recorded on Thursday. Based on past DOH data, average tests usually number more than 15,000. This low number of infections came after the health department just recently detected the XBB Omicron subvariant and XBC variant of COVID-19.
Both are believed to be highly immune-evasive, with the XBB tagged as the main driving force for the recent COVID-19 surge in Singapore, and the XBC being a combination of the BA.2 sublineage of the Omicron and Delta variants. The DOH also earlier warned that virus transmission is likely to increase, especially after the observance of “Undas,” and the upcoming Christmas holidays.
