A decrease in ‘fresh cases’ shows that the Philippines has gained control of the COVID-19 spread, the Department of Health (DOH) said on Saturday.

According to the DOH, there is also a “low critical care utilization rate” in hospitals of intensive care unit beds and mechanical ventilators. This indicates that the Philippines has adequate health system capacity as most areas move into general community quarantine .

'Agresibong' validation dahilan ng pagdami ng naitalang COVID-19 cases: DOHNung konti ang mga bagong official cases dahil mabagal ang “validation”, pinapalabas nila na kumokonti yung infection...
