However, according to the DOH, this already includes backlogs of 3,709 cases that were supposed to be reported on March 31st, 2021. Still, this meant that the country reported a total of 11,601 cases of COVID-19.
With this, the country’s total COVID-19 tally soared to 771,497. Of this number, 153,809 were considered as active cases, another all-time-high for the Philippines. But, this still does not include data from seven laboratories who have yet to submit their reports.
Moreover, the death toll due to COVID-19 also increased to 13,320 following the deaths of 17 more individuals. Meanwhile, 434 patients recovered from the virus raising the survivor count to 604,368.
Due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, the government imposed another enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila and four nearby provinces under the NCR Plus Bubble. But, with the cases soaring this high, the government may extend the ECQ for another week.
