Four PH visitors from China who have Omicron subvariants: DOH

According to a health official, four of the eight Filipino tourists from China who tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) had two Omicron subvariants in their bodies.

Director of the Department of Health’s Epidemiology Bureau Dr. Alethea de Guzman revealed three cases of BF.7 infection and one case of BA.5.2 infection during an online town hall meeting.

“It is the case that there are no variations. These variations are not brand-new. Dati na nating ‘tong mga nade-detect We have been monitoring these previously) “She spoke.

The remaining four travelers’ samples lacked a designated lineage.

It sometimes happens that the quality of the specimens deteriorates during shipment, making it impossible for us to sequence them, according to de Guzman.

Earlier, the World Health Organization claimed that the recent Covid-19 infection outbreak in China is being driven by BF.7 and BA.5.2.

The eight Filipino tourists from China entered the country between December 27, 2022, and January 2, 2023. When they arrived at the airport, they have all been found to be unvaccinated and had tested positive for antigens.

Only one of their 89 close contacts displayed symptoms consistent with Covid-19.
