It is too early to tell if COVID-19 cases in the country are on a downtrend, the Department of Health said, as it appealed for more time to determine if the situation is really easing. | DYGalvezINQ

Secretary Carlito Galvez, the chief implementer of the National Action Policy against COVID-19, earlier pronounced that the number of new cases recorded in the country has decreased from its record-high 538 on March 31 even pointing out that increases in the succeeding days have not surpassed that mark.

“If you will see the data, the increase of the new cases has been 322; which is lower than the highest cases that we have, the last few days ago of 538. This is a good sign that we are gaining the battle despite the many tests now that we have right now,” Galvez said in a virtual press briefing on April 2..

She added that the healing period from COVID-19 takes weeks: two weeks for mild cases and three to six weeks for severe cases.
