As of Tuesday, March 9, the Health department reported 2,668 additional coronavirus infections, bringing the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country to 600,428 overall.

The Department of Health said seven more patients had died, raising the death toll to 12,528. It said 171 other patients had recovered, pushing the total number of COVID-19 survivors to 546,078.

That left the country with 41,822 active cases, of which 91.6 percent were mild, 3.9 percent asymptomatic, 0.80 percent moderate, 1.9 percent severe, and 1.8 percent critical.

The World Health Organization said the increase in COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, particularly in Metro Manila, cannot be considered a second wave of coronavirus infections, as the country has yet to slow down the first wave.
