The country’s overall tally of patients who beat the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has reached 2.292 million 24,391 new recoveries were recorded on Sunday.

The Department of Health (DOH) said the figure is equivalent to a 92-percent recovery rate from a total of 2.490 million infections since the start of the pandemic last year.

The DOH also tallied 20,755 new confirmed cases, bringing the total number of active cases in the country to 161,447 or 6.5 percent of all cases.

Of the active cases, 81.1 percent are mild, 13.4 percent are asymptomatic, 1.6 percent are severe, 3.18 percent are moderate, and 0.7 percent are in critical condition.

The death toll remained at 37,405 or 1.50 percent of total cases.

“No deaths were reported today due to technical issues in the Covid-Kaya system. When the issue is resolved, the succeeding increase in deaths in the following reports will be due to the previous days’ backlogs,” the DOH said.

It added that the Department of Information and Communications Technology is addressing issues encountered by the system.

The DOH also noted that 72 duplicates were removed from the total case count as 63 of those were recoveries.

Meanwhile, 88 cases previously tagged as recoveries were reclassified as deaths after final validation.
