情報源 The Philippine Star 6月2日
The Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines Inc. (PHAPI) has reported an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in their facilities amid reports of a new wave of COVID-19 infection.
"COVID-19 cases increased by around 10% to 15% but these are all very manageable since symptoms are generally mild," De Grano said in an interview. "Mostly, these are outpatient and then, if with symptoms, they get to be tested with the rapid antigen test."

Victoria's ambulance crews were pushed into serious code-orange situations 20 times in May [2024] due to the rising rates of respiratory illness, as the number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals doubled in a month.
Ambulance Victoria says influenza cases alone have increased by 65% in the past fortnight across the state.
There are 361 COVID-19 patients in hospital, more than double the 170 patients who were hospitalised with the virus at the same time last month [April 2024]. Twenty-one of those patients are in intensive care, with 8 on ventilators.

[D] 米国 USA: COVID markers show small rise in activity
情報源 CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy) 2024年5月31日
The main markers the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses to track COVID activity showed small rises today [31 May 2024] from very low levels, including wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detections, which rose from the minimal to low level over the past week.
Most of the rise in wastewater detections was due to a steady rise in the western region, with a very slight increase in the southern region.
The CDC considers wastewater levels an early indicator. The agency also reported slight rises in 2 other early indicators, test positivity and emergency department visits for COVID. Test positivity is currently highest in Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada.
The small rise comes amid rising proportions of JN.1 offshoots. Last week in its variant proportion update, the CDC said 2 of them -- KP.2 and KP.3 -- made up 41.2% of sequenced samples. The 2 variants both contain the FLiRT (F for L at position 456 and R for T at position 346) mutation, which may give them the capacity to evade earlier immunity from illness or vaccination.
On June 5 [2024], the Food and Drug Administration Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) will meet to discuss what COVID strain or strains to include in 2024-25 COVID vaccines.
Current vaccines target the XBB.1.5 variant, but JN.1 has become the dominant strain. The World Health Organization COVID vaccine advisory group recently met and recommended a switch to a monovalent (single-strain) vaccine containing the JN.1 antigen. Some countries such as Singapore have reported rising cases, partly due to increasing proportions of JN.1 variants.
