The Department of Health (DOH) said that the public should expect that the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will continue to rise in the coming days due to the increased testing capacity.
“Ito pong darating na mga araw, alam ko po ikakagulat ng marami ang biglang pagtaas ng kaso natin, Ito po ay sa kadahilanan na marami na po tayong mailalabas na test results dahil ang testing capacity ay na expand na po,” said Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire in a press briefing on Saturday afternoon.
“Pagdating po natin na magkakaroon na tayo ng stable na laboratory testing capacity, makikita na po natin ang totoong pagtaas ng kaso dito sa ating bansa,” she added.Vergeire said the DOH-Epidemiology Bureau was already instructed to collate the data on the number of health workers who have tested positive or now under quarantine for COVID-19.
