(Eagle News) — Twenty more police personnel have recovered from COVID-19.

The Philippine National Police said with the additional recoveries, the PNP COVID-19 recovery total rose to 8800.

Fifteen additional cases, however, pushed the PNP COVID-19 tally to 9159.

Of these, 331 were active.

No additional death was reported, which means the COVID-19 death toll among police personnel remains at 28.

The government has said it was targeting COVID-19 vaccination of 50 to 60 percent of the population to achieve herd immunity.
