COVID-19 cases in the National Capital Region or Metro Manila are dropping slightly, an indication that the present wave of subvariant-driven infections has reached its peak.

In a media briefing on Friday, Department of Health (DoH) Officer in Charge Secretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said that while many areas in the country were still experiencing an uptick in cases, the number of cases in most of Luzon and the Visayas had reached a plateau.
