OCTA on Typhoon #OdettePH's impact on COVID-19 cases: The pandemic would be the secondary concern. Obviously, if there are evacuation centers, cases might spike a little bit (1/2)
OCTA: We saw that last year in Region 2, but we are not as concerned about that as the aftermath of the typhoon itself (2/2)
OCTA says the possible spread of Omicron may not be detected yet because to low testing due to the effect of Typhoon Odette
OCTA on the severity of the Omicron variant: What they're saying is the effect is mostly on the upper respiratory airways, and it's definitely more infectious than the Delta variant
OCTA: Most of the unvaccinated will be the ones affected (by Omicron) and there are still people who are unvaccinated in the country
