DOH reports 102 more COVID-19 deaths, explains delay in release of figures
The Department of Health (DOH) reported an additional 102 COVID-19 deaths due to a data backlog caused by technical glitches in the COVIDKaya system.
Server issues from September 23 to 26 prevented the proper encoding and validation of death data.
DOH Epidemiology Bureau director Dr. Alethea De Guzman explained that the server's limited capacity to process bulk data from the COVID Document Repository System (CDRS) led to the downtime.
Despite the issues with death reporting, the DOH was still able to provide daily updates on case numbers.
The nationwide death toll has now reached 37,596.
The DOH reported 18,449 new COVID-19 infections on Monday, bringing the total case count to 2,509,177.
The DOH stated that further advisories will be issued as the technical team continues to manually encode fatality data.
