PH logs 1,067 new Covid
cases, 1,652
recoveries
The
Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday recorded 1,067 new cases of the
coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and 1,652 more recoveries.
Of 51,592
active cases, 46,609 are mild, 2,779 are moderate, 489 are asymptomatic, 1,417
are severe, and 298 are critical.
The figures
pushed the overall tally of confirmed infections to 3,663,059 and recovered
cases to 3,555,016.
Tuesday's
cases mark a slight uptick from Monday's 951 new infections, the lowest number
of daily cases so far this year.
“Of the
1,067 reported cases today, 652 (61 percent) occurred within the recent 14
days, February 16 to March 1, 2022,” the DOH reported.
The regions
with the most cases in the recent two weeks were the National Capital Region
(NCR) with 144 or 22 percent, Calabarzon with 92 (14 percent), and Central
Luzon with 72 (11 percent).
The death
toll stood at 56,451 as no fatalities were reported, representing 1.54 percent
of overall cases.
According
to the February 27 data, about 4.3 percent of 18,766 who were tested turned out
positive for the coronavirus.
About five
duplicates were removed from the total case count as three of those were
recoveries.
All
laboratories were operational on February 27 but nine were unable to submit
their data to the Covid-19 Document Repository System.
The DOH
said the laboratory contributed, on average, 1.4 percent of samples tested, and
1.4 percent among positive individuals based on data in the past 14 days.
“Please
note that lower reported numbers and positivity rate today are because these
are Sunday laboratory outputs, which traditionally have the lowest outputs per
week,” it added.
To date, 26
percent of 3,700 intensive care unit (ICU) beds, 22 percent of 20,500 isolation
beds, 15 percent of 14,300 ward beds, and 13 percent of 3,200 ventilators
nationwide are in use by patients with Covid-19.
