Note: We are still continuing to see a decrease in cases over the holiday season (December 24 to January 4). This is due to the decreased number of patients being tested as many people want to celebrate the holidays at home.
For December 26, 175 laboratories were able to submit their reports through CDRS. 8 laboratories reported no operations for that day. Out of the 175 open laboratories, 27 reported seeing zero patients, while many others were observed to have decreased census. 14 laboratories did not submit any report and were called to attention for this lapse in reporting.
The DOH is strictly monitoring the output and operating schedules of the laboratories for the next two weeks.
We are reminding all LGUs to ensure that contact tracing and case investigation efforts are maintained over the holidays so that no potential cases are missed. LGUs should ensure that contact tracing and isolation of cases and close contacts are initiated immediately without waiting for test results.
We also call on the public to immediately consult with their physician or nearest health center if they experience any of the symptoms of COVID-19.
As of today, December 28, 2020, DOH CVCHD reports the total number of COVID-19 cases at 24,833.
DOH CVCHD also recorded 53 recoveries. This brings the total number of recoveries to 22,858.
