NANINIWALA ang OCTA Research na mayroon nang 2,000 ng kaso ng mas nakahahawang Covid-19 Delta variant sa bansa.
Ani OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David, ibinase nila ang pagtataya sa ginagawang genome sequencing sa bansa kung saan 100 lamang sa mga samples ang nasusuri kahit pa lagpas 8,000 ang kaso kada araw.
“So what we are really showing is the percentage of Delta variants in the samples but if this percentage was applied in the entire number of cases this is what we would see,” paliwanag ni David.
“As of the latest data, we see 26 percent of cases sampled were the Delta variant and if that were the case that could be as much as 2,000 cases of Delta variant in the whole Philippines,” dagdag niya.
Ipinunto rin niya na, “This is just a projection based on the sampling. There is a fairly wide range of sampling error here but this is what is possible.”
