The Department of Health (DOH) revealed on Tuesday that there were another 421 coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases, bringing the total number of confirmed illnesses in the country to 2,839,111.

The overall number of current infections now stands at 9,750.

The DOH reported in its Covid-19 update that 248 fresh recoveries brought the total number of recoveries to 2,778,148.

There are 3,766 mild cases, 489 asymptomatic patients, 374 critical cases, 1,778 severe cases, and 3,343 moderate cases among the active cases.

“Of the 421 cases recorded today, 410 (or 97 percent) happened in the last 14 days – December 14 to 27, 2021,” according to the DOH.

It went on to say that the National Capital Region, with 170 new cases in the last two weeks, Calabarzon, with 55 new cases, and Region 3 with 39 new cases, accounted for 41% of the country’s new cases.

With two fresh deaths, the death toll has risen to 51,213 people.

The DOH stated, “The two deaths occurred in September 2021 and were just reported now owing to late death information in COVIDKaya.”

After final validation, two cases that were earlier categorized as recoveries were reclassified as deaths.
