A fitness officer declared the rating “number 20” in which the Philippines has risen in terms of the number of Covid-19 instances, but explained that only quoting it, without actual active instances and even low mortality rates, shows an accurate picture of the pandemic scenario in the country.
Undersecretary of Health Maria Rosario Vergeire said johns Hopkins University’s report that hit the Philippines in the world’s 20 most sensitive countries with the number of Covid-19 instances is based solely on the “cumulative” number of instances.
“We look at the number of active cases, cures and deaths. When we look at our recovery rate, we’re already at 80% or more. When we look at the case rate, it’s solid at less than 2%. “Vergeire said on an online media forum.
She emphasized, “Then it’s not just the numbers. We want to take a look at other variables. We want to focus on active cases, not the cumulative number of cases. “
He cited several interventions that have helped the country’s reaction to covid-19, such as the extension of detection capacity that has already reached around 3. 5 million tests, fitness formula capacity and tactile search efforts.
“Although we have groups of instances in the express spaces of the country, yes, the number would possibly increase, but we want to see how we are doing in our reaction [to Covid-19],” he added.
“Like the national decline, we continue to see a decrease in instances in the National Capital Region, from 16,000 instances consistent with the week of August 6-12 to 3,772 instances consistent with the week of September 28,” he said.
As of the afternoon on October 2, doH reported that the total number of Covid-19 instances was 316,678 after 2,611 new instances were registered.
