19,630 new recoveries noted, COVID-19 cases rise to 304,226
The Philippines' COVID-19 cases have surpassed 304,226 with the addition of 2,995 new infections reported by the Department of Health (DOH).
This marks the sixth consecutive day with fewer than 3,000 new cases recorded.
The total number of recoveries has increased to 252,510, partly due to DOH's 'Oplan Recovery' which tags patients as recovered under certain conditions without a second RT-PCR test.
The death toll from the virus has risen to 5,344, with 60 new fatalities reported.
Currently, there are 46,372 active COVID-19 cases.
The National Capital Region reported the highest number of new cases, followed by Cavite, Bulacan, Batangas, and Laguna.
Twenty-five duplicates were removed from the total case count, with 10 recovered cases reclassified as deaths after validation.
