MANILA, Philippines (Updated 6:27 p.m.) — The Department of Health is changing how it relays the latest COVID-19 information in the country to "better guide" the public, its spokesperson said a day after announcing the DOH will no longer release social media updates on coronavirus cases.

In an interview with TeleRadyo on Tuesday, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said no information will be lost when the agency implements its new reporting system next year.

Vergeire said the DOH will issue advisories that include reported COVID-19 cases as well as "condensed analysis" every day.
