Even the number of coronavirus (Covid-19) cases continues to rise, President Rodrigo Duterte allayed fears of the public, saying the country’s death toll from the disease was relatively low.
The Department of Health announced yesterday that 15,588 people nationwide have been infected with Covid-19.
“Now the recoveries 92 new ones, with the total of something like 3,598 to date. Ang patay po is 921. So you would see that (the) Philippines has ratio and proportion vis-à-vis with the population, we have a low rate of mortality here in this country. The total active cases is 11,069,” Duterte told the nation in a televised speech Thursday evening.
“So ang NCR is topnotcher which is 330 or 61 percent. Then we have Region VII, 55; others, 99. Mga repatriate, ‘yung dati nadala dito 55. All in all, para sa akin, hindi naman masama ito,” he also said.
However, the President reminded the Filipino people to observe health and safety precautions to reduce the spread of Covid-19
“[R]emember the COVID microbes are still in the air that you breathe, that you pass on to your fellowmen if you are not ready or willing to wear the mask. It is precisely — this is the protection not for you if you do not want it, but for the protection of the other guy,” Duterte said.
