THE Covid-19 cases in the Philippines reached 2,834,775 after the Department of Health (DOH) logged 603 additional infections on Sunday. There were also 1,047 recoveries and 156 deaths.
Of the total number of cases, 0.5 percent (13,853) are active, 97.8 percent (2,771,536) have recovered, and 1.74 percent (49,386) have died.
Of the 156 reported deaths, only 12 occurred in December 2021 and that 36 percent of the reported deaths on Sunday occurred in November 2021. This is due to late encoding of death information to COVIDKaya.
“This issue is currently being coordinated with the Epidemiology and Surveillance Units to ensure information is up to date,” the DOH said.
Six duplicates were removed from the total case count. These 6 are recoveries.
