THE Department of Health reported Tuesday, October 19, the lowest number of Covid-19 cases logged in a day in nearly three months with only 4,496 additional infections due to lower laboratory output."The relatively low cases today is due to lower laboratory output last Sunday, October 17," the DOH said.

This is 2.3 percent of the more than two million cases in the Philippines since the start of the pandemic last year.
