The number of COVID-19 cases in the Caraga region surged by 29 in just one day on Friday.
Of the 26, 23 have shown no symptoms of the disease and are isolated in the quarantine facilities of their local governments, while six displayed symptoms and are now in hospitals.
“Our goal has always been to flatten the curve by particularly preparing our health care system and not overwhelm it,” said Caraga health director Jose R. Llacuna, Jr. With the continued rise in COVID-19 cases in the region, Llacuna said the DOH is levelling up its technical and logistics support to all treatment and monitoring facilities for these to be more effective in COVID-19 response.
