According to the latest report, all laboratories were operational on August 28, 2021 while there were 2 laboratories that failed to submit data to the COVID-19 Document Repository System (CDRS).

In the coming days, our COVID-19 cases may increase. Adherence to minimum public health standards, good implementation of PDITR strategies, and vaccination remained the most effective defenses to COVID-19.
It is also important that we isolate and interact with BHERTs if we have symptoms of COVID-19. Early consultation and testing can help cut down on infection in homes, communities, and workplaces.
