Pagbaba ng COVID testing paiimbestigahan ng DOH

Manila, Philippines – Tinitingnan na ng Department of Health (DOH) ang pagbaba sa COVID-19 tests na isinasagawa sa Metro Manila at anim pang rehiyon sa nagdaang linggo.

Sa datos na inilahad ni Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, nakita ang pagbaba ng testing output ngNational Capital Region maging sa mga rehiyon ng 8, 9, 10, 11, Soccsksargen, at Caraga buhat nitong Setyembre 21.

Bumaba ito mula sa 287,548 noong nagdaang linggo hanggang 258,047 nitong kamakailan.

“We are currently assessing the reasons for this decline and if this reflects a true decline in cases or just affected by the other factors such as ongoing active case finding, contact tracing, and the use of the antigen to complement the RT-PCR testing.”

“The large decline in reported cases may have been largely affected by the rapid and large decline in RT-PCR laboratory output. Thus the need to interpret our case metrics carefully and the ongoing assessment by DOH to determine what factors led to this much lower test output,” lahad pa ng DOH.  RNT/FGDC
