The Quezon City Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Unit (CESU) recorded on Tuesday a 91.3 percent recovery from the dreaded coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
This accounts for 77,231 individuals who have recovered from Covid-19 in the city.
The Quezon City government posted on their Facebook account that as of 8 a.m. on Tuesday, there are 6,370 active Covid-19 cases or equivalent to 7.5 percent.
The total number of Covid-19 cases is 84,611 since the pandemic started as validated by the CESU and the city’s district health offices.
“Dumadaan sa validation ng CESU, health center staff at mga opisyal ng barangay ang datos na mula sa DOH para masigurong sila ay residente ng QC (The CESU, health center staff, and barangay officials validates these data from the DOH to check if they are indeed residents of QC),”, the QC government post read.
However, the number of cases in the city is still subject to change because of the community-based testing approach that the city government is doing.
Meanwhile, based on the QC Covid-19 update as of 8 a.m. Tuesday, Barangay Batasan Hills in District 2 recorded the most number of active Covid-19 cases at 227 with 3,018 total individuals who have recovered from the disease.
