Of the active cases, about 84.8 percent are mild, 6.9 percent are asymptomatic, 5.4 percent are severe, 0.30 are moderate, and 5.4 percent are in critical condition.

Most of the newly announced cases were from Quezon City with 74, Rizal with 64, the City of Makati with 58, Davao City with 55, and Quezon with 46 infections.

DOH data released on Dec. 16 showed that about 1,582 or 6.3 percent out of the 25,106 tested turned positive for Covid-19.

The DOH also logged 17 deaths on Tuesday, pushing the death toll to 8,850.

“About 11 duplicates were removed from the total case count, and of these, ten recovered cases and a death have been removed. Moreover, three cases previously tagged as recovered were reclassified as deaths,” it said.
