This resulted in a positivity rate of 10 percent—compared to 17 percent that was recorded on April 6, when 4,144 out of 24,755 tests conducted at that time came back positive for the virus.
“That is why we at the DOH continue to remind [the public] that we should be vigilant. If we become complacent and stop following health guidelines, the question is not if but when will the surge occur,” she said. Earlier, the DOH said that on average, it now takes 4.6 days for COVID-19 cases across the country to double, longer than the 2.5 days recorded in March.
As of Friday, there were a total of 10,463 cases in the country as the DOH recorded 120 new infections, 70 percent of which were in Metro Manila.The death toll rose to 696, with 11 more patients succumbing to the severe respiratory disease.
jovicyeeINQ 200+ new cases is as flat as Mount Everest.
jovicyeeINQ % persons testing positive for covid: S. Korea 1.6%; Malaysia 2.7%, Thailand 1.3%, Vietnam 0.1%, Cambodia 0.9%, Myanmar 0.7%, Laos 0.9%, Brunei 0.9%. PHILIPPINES ____?
jovicyeeINQ Gising DOH!!!
jovicyeeINQ Kung ganito ang pananaw ng DOH, we're in big, serious trouble.While the positivity rate has declined,is 10% rate really acceptable?That could translate to about 10mil Filipinos more that might be infected, if no preventive measures in place.Aggressive testing n isolating needed!
jovicyeeINQ May iba silang tinitingnan na curve obvs. Pero there is an international standardized approach to this. Why not just stick to that instead of taking a look at it in a different angle?
jovicyeeINQ If the % of persons testing positive for the virus is about 8% to 10%, then that translates to more than 8 to 10 million of the population out there are still infectected (for a total population of more than 100 million people). Mass testing still needed!
jovicyeeINQ Guys.. guys.. just run with it and agree. When everyone's back to work you can start recording the deaths caused by the unnecessary lockdown. Your untreated TB cases alone are prolly gonna kill more than Covid. Congrats, Doots
jovicyeeINQ show us the curve.
jovicyeeINQ Saang banda nag flatten ang curve?
jovicyeeINQ how can you flatten the curve if you don't have a believable data of covid cases and covid related deaths to start with? esep2..😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
jovicyeeINQ begun means kulang pa yung ecq kaya malamang i extend uli, pero sana gcq na lang para makapagtrabaho naman yung iba, parang wala kasing nag preprepara sa transition sa gcq so dagdag hirap na naman ito malamang ecq pa rin ito.
jovicyeeINQ Flatten daw hahaha
jovicyeeINQ electron microscope
jovicyeeINQ But the graphs at is showing that Philippines hasn't flattened the curve! CTTO 📷
jovicyeeINQ Gagamit ng palpak na test kit mula china tapos sasabihin na flattening na ung curve? As if maaasahan ung data.
jovicyeeINQ 😑🙄
