MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The country posted the highest single-day increase of 298 recoveries from the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) although cases reached 26,420 after the Department of Health (DOH) reported 490 more infections.<\/p>\n

According to the DOH, 348 of the 490 additional infections are \u201cfresh\u201d cases, including 131 recorded in the National Capital Region (NCR). Central Visayas has 79 fresh cases and 138 in other areas.<\/p>\n

The DOH also reported 10 new deaths, increasing the number of fatalities to 1,098.<\/p>\n

DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire attributed the increasing number of recoveries to the improving capabilities of the medical practitioners to combat Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cNagkaroon na ang ating mga<\/em>\u00a0doctors with enough experience coming from these five months\u00a0na po na sitwasyon dito sa ating bansa para po makapanggamot nitong ating mga may<\/em>\u00a0Covid-19. (Our doctors have earned enough experience coming from these five months of the country\u2019s fight to cure our Covid-19 patients),\u201d Vergeire said in a virtual presser in Malaca\u00f1ang.<\/p>\n

Vergeire said the DOH has also tallied the unreported recovered patients from some local governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cSa tingin po namin ay marami pa pong magdagdag sa darating na mga araw<\/em>. (I think, more recoveries will be recorded in the coming days),\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The DOH official renewed the government\u2019s appeal to the public to follow the health and quarantine protocols such as physical distancing and wearing of face mask to contain the spread of coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cKung tayo po ay magkakaroon ng obligasyon para ipatupad ang mga<\/em>\u00a0minimum public health standard,\u00a0hindi lang po sarili ninyo ang pinoprotektahan ninyo, pinoprotektahan din po ninyo ang pamilya ninyo at mapuprotektahan din po ang ating komunidad.<\/em>\u00a0(If you follow obligation to implement the minimum public health standard, you will be able to protect not only yourself but your family and your community),\u201d Vergeire said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
