The number of individuals who have recovered has risen to 2,797,816 after 5,063 more people have recovered, while the number of people who have died has risen to 52,654 after 144 more people have died from the sickness.

Despite requests to make Covid-19 testing more accessible, if not free, Malacanang insisted that focused or responsible testing be done to stop the disease from spreading.

“Responsible testing po yung ginagawa natin kasi (We are performing responsible testing because) we must be cognizant that the resources of the pamahalaan and the Philippines are not inexhaustible” (that the resources of government are not unlimited). And we have to be strategic about where we spend our resources,” Nograles added at a press conference at the Palace.
