DOH observes drop in hospital admissions, new Covid-19 infections

MANILA – The Department of Health (DOH) has seen a drop in hospital admissions which could be correlated with the decline in coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases over the past week.

The DOH mentioned that the intensive care unit (ICU) utilization rate nationwide is 30 percent as of February 22 which is lower than the 51 percent as of January 22.

Currently, 29 percent of 3,800 ICU beds, 25 percent of 20,500 isolation beds, 18 percent of 13,900 ward beds, and 16 percent of 3,000 ventilators are used by patients with Covid-19 nationwide.

In the National Capital Region, 25 percent of 1,300 ICU beds, 24 percent of 4,600 isolation beds, 25 percent of 3,600 ward beds, and 17 percent of 1,000 ventilators dedicated to patients with Covid-19 are in use.

According to the DOH, the delay in the submission of reports by a few laboratories has no substantial impact on the number of new cases reported daily.

“Currently, while antigen test results are not yet included in our topline numbers, LGUs are required to submit their line list which is then cleared and analyzed along with RT-PCR results received from laboratories,” it added.

Under DOH Department Memorandum No. 2022-0033, it mandates the reporting of results of self-administered antigen test consistent with the relevant provisions of Republic Act No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act, and Republic Act No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and Section V.H. of Administrative Order No. 2021-0043.

In regards of the most recent genome sequencing findings, the DOH stated that the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) remains the most common lineage in the country, accounting for 34.80 percent of all samples sequenced thus far. At 19.6 percent, the Omicron variant comes second.

The DOH stressed that the results of whole genome sequencing do not imply that the Omicron variant is already endemic in the country.

“We have metrics to follow to declare a disease as endemic. Corollary, measles has become endemic as the government realized its aim to lower case numbers rather than implausibly eliminating a disease that is constantly present through a stage of disease control approach,” it said.

    issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of
    exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot
    of it is popping it up all over the internet without my
    agreement. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d
    certainly appreciate it.

  48. I like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and exposure!
    Keep up the very good works guys I’ve incorporated you
    guys to my blogroll.

  49. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of
    your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
    people could connect with it better. Youve
    got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

  50. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a
    blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt,
    you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that
    not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this during my

    knows the solution will you kindly respond? Thanks!!

  54. Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you
    write again very soon!

  59. I think everything published was very reasonable. However, consider this, suppose
    you were to create a awesome title? I am not saying your information isn’t solid., however what if you added something
    that makes people want more? I mean DOH observes drop
    in hospital admissions, new Covid-19 infections – The President News is kinda vanilla.
    You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post
    titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or
    a picture or two to get readers excited about
    what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little
    livelier.

  60. It is perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy.
    I’ve read this post and if I could I want to
    suggest you some interesting things or suggestions. Maybe you
    could write next articles referring to this article. I desire
    to read more things about it!

  61. Fantastic blog you have here but I was wondering if
    you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same
    topics talked about in this article? I’d really like to be a
    part of online community where I can get comments from other knowledgeable
    people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
    Kudos!
