Local transmission from the Delta variant has spread to the community in the Philippines.
This country has detected 1,789 Delta cases and 33 deaths so far.
The World Health Organization confirmed the transmission of the Delta variant community, said that now the dominant Covid-19 tension spread in the Philippines.
