In a press conference on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, Councilor Joel Garganera, the deputy chief implementor of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) said that this has been the lowest positivity rate the city recorded since June 2020.

The positivity rate is only 0.6 percent for the batch, whose results were released on October 6, 2020. This was lower than the average 1.51 percent to 0.7 percent in September 2020.

Only 190 out of the 725 COVID-19 dedicated beds available are being utilized in hospitals, which means that the hospitals are no longer overwhelmed. Councilor Joel Garganera said that since the end of July 2020, Cebu City has maintained the flattened curve.“Yet this is not a reason to be complacent,” he said.
