There were 14,333 cases for this past week or a 7-day average of 2,048 new daily cases. These numbers are still highly under reported as many antigen kits are unavailable in some drug stores (indirectly demonstrating that the slightly higher sales indicates higher utilization as well).

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Globally, Europe now comprises more than 50% of the world’s daily cases. In East Asia, Taiwan continued to see rising cases as the Rt remained above 1. Japan sees a dramatic drop in cases, not because there are less COVID cases see, but because in the way the reporting is done. The doctors are not mandated to fill up each and every report for all cases of COVID-19 any longer in the country. With the BA.5 and BA.4 and its sub variants dominating the globe in time for the winter season, some of the countries are notably seeing changing landscapes with many under testing, and simply living with the virus.

The Philippines averaged 2014 daily cases with a Rt of 1.16 (+/- 0.05), meaning that we are at a plateau and should expect to see a tad higher cases this week. Singapore’s numbers are up at more than 5250 daily cases and a Rt of 1.25.

The Health Agency announces 2197 new cases with 81 added deaths and a positivity rate of 15.7%. The NCR owned 987 (45%) of the cases.
