MANILA, Philippines — Most COVID-19 infections currently circulating in the country are generally mild and resolve within a few days, an infectious disease expert said Tuesday, urging the public to remain cautious but not alarmed despite a recent localized spike in cases reported in Quezon City.
Speaking on state-run PTV-4 on Tuesday, Dr. Rontgene Solante of San Lazaro Hospital said the current rise in COVID-19 cases in Quezon City should not be a cause for public concern because the prevailing variants are no longer associated with severe disease in most patients.
“This is not something to be concerned about because most of the COVID-19 cases we encountered only experienced mild symptoms such as colds and coughs, and would eventually recover within three to four days,” he said.
