DOH’s target? Limiting total COVID-19 cases to 12,000 by mid-May

MANILA — With the increase of new confirmed COVID-19 cases seemingly slowing down, the Department of Health said it is hoping the country will only have 12,000 cases by May 20.

Dr. Regina E. Estuar, project lead of a government-funded disease modeling application, also mentioned during an online briefing that it’s possible to limit the confirmed cases to 12,000 if the country’s health systems capacity is enough. FASSSTER uses data from the Department of Health and produces models not just for the national government but for specific localities, too.

ONGOING: DOST, FASSSTER briefing. It is an online tool that uses data on COVID-19 to help government decision-makers. Its projections have been used by the IATF to help decide on the extension of the ECQ. @ABSCBNNews pic.twitter.com/4OVJ6Sul4b“Dahil sa ECQ na hanggang April 14, bumaba ang projection ng posibleng confirmed cases na halos kalahating milyon. Tumaas rin ang health systems capacity,” Estuar said.

ipakita nnyo ang mga patay wala nmn tinatakot nyo ang tao. Pag nmatay sbihin covid kahit hindi katulad na lng ng kpitbahay nmn dati ng may sakit 61 na sbi covid dw nilpat ng ospital hndi nmn awang diyos andito na sa bahay nag lalakad na sbihin na nnyo ang totoo asan doc na patay

That will only happen if doh finally becomes proactive in dealing with the situation. I do hope you’re right though.

How can you say it’s slowing down kung ang daming hindi naman natetest?

This is the problem with DOH, they dont speak for reality. Parang nag eemagine lang sila palagi. Pano naging slow to eh halos everyday more than 100 pa rin ang cases. Potex! Lets spread alarm po hindi yung imagination result lang.

Mass testing pls

Slowing down? 🤓

I think we will only know whether it is slowing down or rising up when we get result of the much awaited mass testing

Kayang-kaya nyo namam laruin ang datos. Gagawin nyo lang backlog para di umabot ng 12000 sa May 20.

i think hindi dapat ang number of positive cases ang dapat nilang gawing target or measure of success, but the number of individuals tested. then second target is ratio of deaths versus tested. kasi ang gagawin lang nila dyan is itatago yung real number of active cases.

This is ridiculous!

I bet at around 10T only
