MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health said Friday it is seeing a slow decline in the number of new COVID-19 infections in the country.

 

“Our epidemic curve shows that while a swift decline followed the peak of cases, this decline has markedly slowed down over the past weeks,” DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said.

 

From March 10 to 16, the country logged an average of 534 additional cases per day. The figure was 29% lower than the daily average from the previous week.
