(Eagle News) — Twenty-three more police personnel have recovered from COVID-19.
The Philippine National Police said with the additional recoveries, the recovery total rose to 7745.
Fifty-five more COVID-19 cases, however, pushed the total number of COVID-19 cases in the PNP to 8190.
Of these, the PNP said 419 were active.
No additional deaths were reported, which means the PNP COVID-19 death toll was still at 26.
The Department of Health has said COVID-19 cases in the country have been declining so far, but cautioned the public against ignoring safety and health protocols.
It noted that a COVID-19 spike could still take place.
The government has said it was eyeing inoculating 50 to 60 percent of the population for COVID-19 to achieve herd immunity.
Herd immunity takes place when much of the population is immune to an infectious disease, providing indirect protection to the rest.
