CEBU CITY, Philippines — The sudden increase of the number of Coronavirus Disease 2019 cases in Cebu City can be attributed to the delay in the release of results from the Department of Health laboratories.
The mayor said he was informed of the backlog by the DOH that has caused the sudden increase of reported cases in the past few days, but many of these cases were swabbed more than two weeks prior to the release of the results. For the mayor, the low mortality rate coupled with the high recovery rate, are the more important figures to monitor as this determines the capability of the city to fight the virus.
