The Cebu Provincial Government said Governor Gwendolyn Garcia will submit for validation to regional IATF an executive order, which will de-escalate the modified enhanced community quarantine status in Talisay City.
— The total number of COVID-19 cases in the country has reached 27,799, with recoveries exceeding 7,000, the Department of Health reported on Thursday.
“The total cases reported may be subject to change as these numbers undergo constant cleaning and validation,” it said. The DOH, which has been distinguishing “fresh” from “late” cases since late May, said it is first looking to clear backlogs on COVID-19 testing and data transmission before returning to its old system of reporting cases.The modified reporting has drawn criticism, including from Dr. Tony Leachon, former special adviser to the COVID-19 National Task Force, who labeled the agency's performance as “mediocre” and called for the release of real-time data.
At least 100 policemen will initially be sent to Cebu City by both the Police Regional Office 6 in Western Visayas and the Police Regional Office 8 in Eastern Visayas.
