Based on newly collected data by the Department of Health, here are the new incoming data for today:
all cases: 1,478,061 still recovering: 29,128, or 3.3% of total infections new recover: 5,811, reason to be 1,402,918 all recovering deaths only: 100, which raises the total local death toll to 26,015 43% willing to get vaccinated; GCQ until December? Four months since the start of COVID-19 vaccinations in the Philippines in March, it appears that only 43% of Filipinos are willing to be vaccinated against the deadly virus, according to a new Pulse Asia survey. However, that is higher compared to the 16% recorded by the February 2021 survey of the same group.
Twelve duplicates have been removed from the DOH's COVID-19 case count today. It also turns out that nine of them are really good so far.
The 156 cases were also deactivated after being called duplicates of their RESUs/CESUs. Of that, 150 recoveries and six have died.
The DOH and Malacañang are still studying the previous recommendation of Dr. Rontgene Solante of the Vaccine Expert Panel on whether Metro Manila and other high-risk provinces will be kept in general community quarantine (GCQ) until December, when 40% of the population is expected to be vaccinated.
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire still denies that there have been people affected by two different COVID-19 variants in the Philippines. It was after the death of a 90-year-old Belgian woman, who had not been vaccinated. It is said that two different variants affected him simultaneously.
COVID-19 has already affected 185.29 million people worldwide, according to the latest data from the World Health Organization. Of that number, 4.01 million people are dead.
