At least 500 more patients have recovered from the coronavirus disease, pushing the country’s overall tally of recovered cases to 467,475 on Thursday.

The agency also reported 1,783 new confirmed cases and 74 new deaths.

The DOH said about 84.8 percent of the active cases are mild, 8 percent are asymptomatic, 2.5 percent are severe, 0.40 percent are moderate, and 4.4 percent are in critical condition.
