THE Department of Health (DOH) said the number of COVID-19 cases from APRIL 5-11, 2022 went down by 26 percent compared to March 29 to April 4, 2022.

This after the DOH registered 1,903 cases from April 5-11, which is equivalent to 271 cases per day.

DOH Spokesperson and Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the positivity rate also went down among the tested COVID-19 cases that were tested.

This was logged in 1.6 percent compared to the 1.8 percent logged from March 29 to April 4.
