DOH: All regions now minimal risk for COVID-19

All regions in the Philippines are now classified as 'minimal risk' for COVID-19, according to the Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday.

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire noted that this classification is due to a continuous decrease in COVID-19 cases across all areas of the country.

The health system capacity is also at 'low risk', with hospital admissions for critical and severe cases dropping from 1,874 in mid-January to 805.
