The Philippines will conduct more aggressive tests for COVID-19 even though the country is considered to have one of the highest testing capacities in Asia.

“Ang ating tests per day ay umaabot na ng 35,000 per day ,” said government COVID-19 testing czar Vince Dizon during the “Laging Handa” media briefing Monday.

“’Yun pong ating testing, tracing, ‘yung ating pag-i-isolate ng mga positibo at siyempre ‘yung pag-treat ng medyo malubha ng magiging sakit ay talagang lalo pa nating gagawing mas aggressive at mas intense sa mga susunod na mga araw para medyo mapabagal natin ang pagdami ng mga kaso at ma-minimize natin ang mga kababayan nating malubha magkakasakit dahil sa COVID-19 ,” the testing czar said.

The testing czar also revealed that the government isolation centers are between 80 to 85 percent full.
