Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire disclosed on Wednesday that the Department of Health (DOH) has managed almost 40,000 tests for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on April 14, and it turns out that the test was negative after 85% or 34,116 of the 39,947 tests.

However, the 5,782 of the tests results was in positive for COVID-19.

Vergeire said in a virtual press briefing that; “Ang total positive tests ay mas maaaring mas mataas kaysa sa total confirmed cases dahil dmadaan pa rin ito sa case validation and processing at yun pong ating positive cases na admitted sa hospital ay maaaring nagkakaroon ng repeat tests.”

So far, the COVID-19 cases in the country have exceeded the number of recovered patients than those who died from the disease.

In addition, the DOH also reported a record-high single-day increase of recoveries since the first case of COVID-19, with 58 recoveries.

Meanwhile, there are 5,453 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country, with 353 recoveries and 349 deaths.
