ZAMBOANGA CITY - The Zamboanga Peninsula remains free from the Omicron variant of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), the Department of Health-Zamboanga Peninsula (DOH-9) reported Tuesday. "So far there is none (of the Omicron variant cases)," Dr. Joshua Brillantes, DOH-9 director, said. However, Brillantes said the local government units (LGUs) and hospital authorities should still be prepared to address any surge in Covid-19 cases amid the threat posed by the Omicron variant. Health experts said the Omicron variant, which was first found in South Africa on Nov. 24, 2021, is likely to spread more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. Brillantes noted that the Philippines has detected a total of 43 Omicron variant cases, mostly from international travelers based on the report of the Philippine Genome Center. Of the total cases, 35 are asymptomatic, seven are symptomatic and the remaining one is unknown. "What we have prepared before should be strengthened,"
