DOH finds the first 14 BQ.1 cases in PH

On Friday, the Department of Health (DOH) announced that the “highly transmissible and immune-evasive” Omicron BQ.1 subvariant had been found in the nation.

DOH officer in charge Maria Rosario Vergeire announced 14 new cases of the BQ during a media forum.

Up until now, 1 subvariant has been identified.

According to what is now known about BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, it is more immune-evasive and more transmissible than the other Omicron subvariants, she said.

Local cases from the Cordillera, Ilocos, and Central Visayas areas, as well as the National Capital Region, make up thirteen of the recorded cases.

The DOH has not yet revealed the origin of the remaining case.

According to medical professionals, BQ.1 is a branch of the BA.5 Omicron subvariant, which is thought to be what increased the number of cases countrywide in August.
