On Tuesday, the Department of Health (DOH) announced 611 new coronavirus illness recoveries and 5,434 new cases (Covid-19).

Since the pandemic began in March 2020, 2,779,706 illnesses have been recovered, accounting for 97.2 percent of the total 2,861,119 infections.

The number of active cases has risen to 29,809, with 24,026 light cases, 3,020 intermediate cases, 889 asymptomatic cases, 328 critical cases, and 1,546 severe cases.

“Of the 5,434 instances recorded today (January 4), 5,395 (or 99 percent) happened in the last 14 days – December 22 to January 4, 2022,” according to the DOH.

The National Capital Region (NCR), which had 3,826 new illnesses in the preceding two weeks, was followed by Calabarzon, which had 864 new infections, and Central Luzon, which had 333 new infections.

With 18 more deaths, the death toll has risen to 51,604, accounting for 1.8 percent of all cases.

“Due to late encoding of death information to COVIDKaya, two deaths occurred in January 2022 (11 percent), eight deaths occurred in December 2021 (44 percent), two deaths occurred in November 2021 (11 percent), three deaths occurred in October 2021 (17 percent), one death occurred in August 2021 (6 percent), and two deaths occurred in July 2021 (11 percent),” according to the DOH.

COVIDKaya is a web-based tool that allows healthcare professionals to collect and share information regarding Covid-19 patients.

According to the statistics from January 2, around 26.2 percent of the 24,855 people who were tested for Covid-19 were positive.

“A total of thirteen duplicate cases were eliminated from the total case count because they were recoveries. In addition, 121 instances were discovered to be negative and were removed from the total case count. “Of these, 119 are recoveries,” according to the Department of Health.

Following validation, fourteen cases previously labeled as recoveries were reclassified as fatalities.

On January 2 and 16, all laboratories that were open were unable to submit data to the Covid-19 Document Repository System.

Based on statistics from the previous 14 days, the 16 laboratories provide 2.1 percent of samples analyzed and 1.8 percent of positive persons, according to the DOH.

Patients with Covid-19 have used 26 percent of 3,500 ICU beds, 27 percent of 19,000 isolation beds, 19 percent of 12,200 ward beds, and 14 percent of 3,000 ventilators nationwide to date.
