Of the active cases, about 93 percent are mild, 3.8 percent are asymptomatic, 1.3 percent are severe, 0.68 are moderate, and 1.2 percent are in critical condition.

Also logged were 18 more deaths, pushing the death toll to 12,866.

“Nine duplicates were removed from the total case count, and of these, six were recovered cases. Moreover, five cases that were previously tagged as recovered were reclassified as deaths after final validation,” the DOH said.

The department also reported that it has a total bed capacity of 21,400 dedicated to Covid-19 patients.
