“The DOH data showed that the CFR of the country in 2021 was at 1.47 percent as compared to 2.47 percent in 2020,” sabi ng DOH.
“The decrease shown in the national case fatality rate was multifactorial. One of the factors that the Department is considering is the overall improvement of the country’s healthcare system over the past year and its ability to cope with the higher demand for clinical assessment, referral, and management of cases,” sabi ni DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire.
“The COVID-19 vaccination program also played a role in the decrease. Vaccines continue to provide the promised protection against more severe COVID-19 and deaths. Moreover, this was the effect of the strategies and behavioral-change campaigns implemented as early as August 2020 to mitigate the risk of transmission and slow down the spread of COVID-19,”dagdag niya.
