ADVERTISEMENTShe also noted that the basis of PGC’s study is a small sample of positive cases from Quezon City. “We still need a lot of evidence for us to say na mutated na ‘yung virus na nandito, na ‘yun ‘yung kumakalat sa bansa. According to the PGC, the G614 strain, along with the original D614 genotype, was detected in a sample of positive cases taken from Quezon City in June. She also said that there’s “no solid evidence” yet confirming that G614, considered to be the globally dominant variant of the virus, is more transmissible. Nonetheless, the Health official reminded the public to strictly follow health protocols regardless of what coronavirus strain may be detected in the country.
