DOH announces 38,075 COVID-19 recoveries. This brings the total number of recoveries to 65,064. A total of 3,954 confirmed cases are reported based on the total tests done by 80 out of 91 current operational labs. We #ExplainExplainExplain: Of the 38,075 recoveries reported today, 909 were based on Regional Epidemiology & Surveillance Unit (RESU) updates and 37,166 was part of the time-based tagging methodology (cases with mild disease or asymptomatic whose date of onset of illness or specimen collection was more than 14 days ago and shall be tagged as recovered as per DOH DM 2020-0258) from the enhanced data reconciliation efforts with local government units. The same reconciliation effort also explains the 3,954 new cases reported today, of which 1,320 cases are fresh cases, and 2,634 are late cases. Of the newly reported cases, 3,801 (96%) occurred in July, of which, 1,602 (42%) were from NCR and 955 (25%) from Region 7. Of the 23 deaths, 19 (83%) in July, 3 (13%) in June, and 1 (4%) in April. Deaths were from NCR (12 or 52%), Region 7 (8 or 35%), Region 3 (1 or 4%), and Region 4A (1 or 4%); 1 case (4%) had an unspecified region. There were sixty-six (66) duplicates that were removed from the total case count. Of these, six (6) recovered cases and two (2) deaths have been removed. Moreover, one (1) case that was previously reported to have recovered has been validated to have died and already included in the count of new deaths. These numbers undergo constant cleaning and validation.
