The second OFW from Dubai monitored the potential of the UK Covid-19 variant
The Ministry of Health (DOH) 7 said it was monitoring a 28-year-old overseas Filipino female worker (OFW) arriving in Cebu from Dubai on Saturday, January 23, 2021 on Thursday, January 21.
She is the third person to be monitored in Central Visayas for possible possession of the B.1.1.7 Sars-CoV-2 (UK) mutant of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19).
Dr. Mary Jean Loreche, a spokesman for DOH7, said OFW gave a positive test result in her RT-PCR (real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) test. Her cycle threshold, the viral load of an individual sample, is eligible for genomic sequencing.
Loreche said swab samples of asymptomatic patients will be sent to the Philippine Genome Center (PGC) on Monday, January 25.
The female OFW joins the other two (a 35-year-old Filipino American in the United States and a 54-year-old male OFW in Dubai) and is also eligible for genome sequencing at PGC.
Their samples were sent to PGC on January 7th and 20th, respectively. DOH7 has not received the test results yet. Both are asymptomatic.
According to Loreche, asymptomatic patients can be clinically discharged after completing a 14-day forced quarantine period, even without PGC results, and remain asymptomatic within the same period. For example, these patients are no longer infectious.
Loreche said that when a virus tries to adapt to the human body, the mutant “always occurs” and there is no need to be alert or panic about the virus mutation.
She said the British variant is just one of three identified variants. The other two originated from Brazil and South Africa.
“Ultimately, we’ll see more in the coming weeks, but the difference doesn’t necessarily mean that it causes more serious illness. It’s an improvement in transmissibility.” She said.
Loreche said the differences affect testing capacity, especially since molecular laboratories in the region can only detect the virus that causes Covid-19, Sars-CoV-2.
She also said that sending samples to PGCs for genomic sequencing tests is costly and needs to be selective.
To qualify, travelers must come from a country restricted by the coronavirus variant. Individuals must test positive for Sars-CoV-2 on arrival and during the second swab test 5 days later. The threshold for the positive test result cycle must be 30 or less.
“There is no cause for the warning so far. The cause of our vigilance is actually an increase in the number of cases,” she said.
As of Saturday, January 23, there were a total of 2,410 active cases in Central Visayas. Of these, 845 were in Cebu City, 106 were in Lapu Lapu City, and 205 were in Mandaue City.
There were 707 active cases in Negros Oriental. Cebu, 523; Bohol, 21; and Siquijor, 3.
“We really need to be vigilant. We need to have sufficient compliance, responsibility and discipline to implement public health measures,” Loreche said. (WBS)
