MANILA, Philippines — On Tuesday, January 11, DOH logged 28,007 more positive infections of COVID-19. This is the third-highest daily number recorded by the health agency.
This daily log brings the country’s total number of cases to 3,026,473 since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. The country also has a total of 52,511 COVID-related deaths.
99% of the new cases occurred within the past 14 days. Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and Central Luzon are the top regions with active COVID-19 cases.
According to DOH, twelve laboratories were not able to submit their data. These laboratories account for 4.2% of tested samples.
As of today, there are 181,016 reported active cases. Health experts say that this is lower than the actual number as Filipinos across the country struggle to access testing.
Across the country, Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are at 41% capacity; while Manila has a 54% occupancy.
