Lahat parin inilalabas, naglagay lang tayo ng bagongThe DOH sparked confusion when it changed the way it presents the COVID-19 case tally last week, separating"fresh" cases – or validated positive results reported within the last three days – from"late" cases – which refer to test results released four days or more after the announcement.
Vergeire explained there are two backlogs: test backlogs, which are samples left unprocessed or without results 48 to 72 hours after they were taken to laboratories, and validation backlogs, which is a verification process to avoid over-reporting due to repeat tests. The health official said there are now 49 health facilities which could process tests for COVID-19. These centers have the capability to conduct more than 34,000 tests, according to Presidential spokesman Harry Roque. But that is not maximized due to ‘operational issues,’ Vergeire said.
“If the DOH could not provide logical explanations for this, except for putting the blame on laboratories, then there is a reason to believe that it is underreporting COVID-19 cases. That is not only counter-productive because hiding the real data could be fatal,” opposition Senator Franklin Drilon said in a statement on Monday.not to “fudge the figures” as he conjectured that new classifications may be the agency’s “ego saving devices.
That gate looks like its hiding deaths that amy or may not be coivd related and other mysteriesnof science we will never know.
