INIULAT kahapon ng Department of Health (DOH) na nakitaan nila ng pagbaba ng bilang ng mga isinasagawang COVID-19 swab tests o RT-PCR tests, ang may 14 na rehiyon sa bansa.
“We’ve observed that 14 regions had less number of RT-PCR tests done in the recent week versus the previous week,” ayon kay Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, sa isang press briefing nitong Lunes.
Batay sa datos na iprinisinta ni Vergeire, ang bilang ng samples na nasuri sa naturang 14 na rehiyon maliban sa Regions 3, 4-B, at 5, ay nakitaan nila ng pagbaba.
Ang nakapagtala aniya ng pinakamalaking pagbaba ay ang National Capital Region (NCR), na mula sa 266,042 tests, ay bumaba ng 14.1% o 37,383 tests.
“This translated to the lower positive individuals from 48,229 to 35,603,” aniya.
Samantala, may anim aniyang local government units (LGUs) sa Metro Manila, na kinabibilangan ng Parañaque, Pasay, Caloocan, Pasig, Pateros at Mandaluyong, ang nag-ulat ng mas mababang bilang ng tests sa nakalipas na dalawang linggo.
Ayon umano sa Parañaque LGU, ang pagbaba ng testing capacity ng Research Institute of Tropical Medicine (RITM) ang dahilan ng pagbaba ng kanilang iniulat na tests habang ang Pasay LGU naman ay nagsabi na bumaba ang kanilang mga tests dahil sa paglipat nila sa paggamit ng antigen test.
Nag-ulat naman ang Caloocan, Pasig, Pateros at Mandaluyong ng general decrease sa case trend at ng close contacts na natukoy.
“Four local governments reported a general decrease in the case trend and, by extension, contacts detected: Caloocan, Pasig, Pateros and Mandaluyong,” aniya pa.
Kaugnay nito, sinabi ni Vergeire na ina-assess pa nila ang dahilan sa likod ng pagbaba ng testing output.
“We are still assessing the reasons for this decline, and if this reflects a true decline in cases or is affected by other factors such as ongoing active case finding and contact tracing and the use of rapid antigen test to complement the RT-PCR testing,” ani Vergeire. ANA ROSARIO HERNANDEZ
