The Department of Health (DOH) on Saturday (Aug. 28) has recorded a total of 19,441 cases of COVID-19 in the country.
This is the highest number of COVID-19 cases recorded so far.
Some 19,191 are newly recovered and 167 have died.
The total number of cases in the country is now at 1,935,700. Around 6.4% or 142,679 are active cases, 90.9% or 1,760,013 have recovered, and 1.71% or 33,008 have died.
“Sa mga susunod na araw ay maari pang tumaas ang ating mga kaso ng COVID-19. Ang pagsunod sa minimum public health standards, maiging pagsasagawa ng PDITR strategies, at pagbabakuna ay nanatiling pinakapabisang depensa sa COVID-19,” the DOH said in a statement.
The department also added, “Mahalaga rin na tayo ay mag-isolate at makipagugnayan sa Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERT) kung tayo ay may sintomas ng COVID-19. Ang maagang konsultasyon at pagpapatest ay makatutulong upang maputol ang hawaan sa mga bahay, komunidad, at sa mga lugar na pinagtatrabahuhan.” – rir
