The Department of Health (DOH) said that the country's case fatality rate is decreasing despite the continued rise in the number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases.

The Department of Health said that the country’s case fatality rate is decreasing despite the continued rise in the number of coronavirus disease cases.“For now…we can see that the deaths here in the country are slowly going down. It is really decreasing. We have only 2.9 percent case fatality rate compared to when we started when it was more than 10 percent,” said Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire in a television interview on Tuesday, July 7.

“These numbers that we are having right now should make people more cautious. This is not just because we are testing more but because there are really cases, there really clustering of cases that we have been identifying for these past days and also there is really community transmission,” said Vergeire.

“First we do not still have strong evidence or enough evidence to really say that the COVID is airborne. So we are still working on that concept that COVID-19 is transmitted via droplet infection,” she said.
