On April 10, the total number of Covid-19 cases in the country was at 4,195 after the department registered 119 new cases.

“As of 4 p.m. today, April 10, 2020, the Department of Health reports 119 new cases of Covid-19. Total number of cases in the country is now at 4,195,” the DOH said in a bulletin.

Earlier, the DOH said its Covid-19 tracker would be inaccessible until April 11 and would be re-launched on April 12 with updated graphs and charts.

‘Avoid misting’

On efforts to stop the spread of Covid-19, the DOH, in a separate statement, advised the public to refrain from spraying or misting.

“DOH does not recommend spraying or misting. There is no evidence to support that spraying of surfaces or large-scale misting of areas, indoor or outdoor, with disinfecting agents, kills the virus,” it said.

The department said spraying or misting poses an additional health concern as it can cause pathogens to be dispersed further during spraying.

It may also result in skin irritation and inhalation of chemicals, and cause environmental pollution, among others.

“DOH advises to soak objects or disinfect surfaces to kill the virus,” it said.
