The Department of Health (DOH) said that the government is looking at the possibility of putting the United Kingdom in the “red” list of areas tagged as high risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) amid the rise of a new Delta variant subtype.
The Department of Health (DOH) announced 633 more infections of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) variants of concern, with 339 of them being the Delta variant, the more infectious Covid-19 variant.
The Covid-19 Delta variant has started to spread locally in Cebu City, the Department of Health (DOH) confirmed.
The Provincial Government of Cebu may implement granular lockdowns if new Covid-19 cases continue to increase as some areas are already facing surges attributed to the Delta variant.
The Philippines has logged a total of 331 cases of the highly contagious Delta variant.
