MANILA – The Philippines reported 3,544 additional coronavirus infections on Tuesday, bringing the country’s cumulative total of COVID-19 cases to 269,407.
The Department of Health (DOH) said that of the confirmed cases, 57,392 are active, while 207,352 have recovered and 4,663 have died.
This is the eighth day in a row that additional cases have exceeded 3,000.
DOH said 10 labs were unable to submit their test results in time for the new tally on Tuesday.
Last week, DOH claimed that the “irregularly high number of cases” reported was due to labs catching up on delayed reports. Although the daily reports show that most of the cases are from the past 2 weeks.
