Rethinking Our COVID-19 Approach
It’s a grim number. There were 22,366 new COVID-19 infections last August 29, 2021. That’s a record-high number for the country. The rate of those people who received positive results from the more than 71,000 tests was 27.5 percent. And while it is important to note that more than 95 percent of cases have been classified as “mild,” ICU bed utilization rates in the country and NCR are at more than 70 percent according to the Department of Health (DOH).
