COVID-19 cases in PH rise to over 1.627 million with 8,127 more infections

MANILA— The Philippines on Thursday recorded 8,127 more COVID-19 cases, as the capital region ramped up its preparation for its fresh 2-week enhanced community quarantine beginning Friday.

According to the Department of Health, total COVID-19 cases in the country is at 1,627,816, of which 66,895 or 4.1 percent are active infections. This is the 5th time in a week that new cases counted over 8,000, the ABS-CBN research team said. Infections are relatively fewer on Tuesdays and Wednesdays due to the low number of laboratories that operate over the weekend.

The positivity rate is at 17.3 percent, based on test results of 56,035 people who got screened for the virus on Tuesday, the DOH said. Meanwhile, COVID-related fatalities rose by 196 to 28,427. The day's deaths included 131 cases initially tagged as recoveries. Three laboratories failed to submit data on Tuesday, while a laboratory was not operational on the same day.
