DOH clarifies 33 confirmed Covid-19 cases in PH, not 35 as earlier reported
MANILA — The Department of Health had to backtrack on its latest figures after announcing earlier in the day 11 new confirmed Covid-19 cases.
Health Assistant Secretary Maria Rosario Vergeire apologized for the mistake and clarified that the Philippines has 33 confirmed Covid-19 cases and not 35 as earlier reported.
“We’d like to apologize for that… There was this post coming from the health emergency meeting… wherein they initially reported the 35 cases,” she said. “It was supposed to be DOH initially issuing out these kinds of numbers.”
The Philippines has a record of 33 total cases — 2 have recovered — with 1 death.
