TWO days after logging a daily positivity rate (DPR) under five percent, Cebu City's DPR has risen by 3.46 percentage points since.
The Cebu City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) reported a 7.10 percent positivity rate on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, showing an increasing pattern since the city logged 3.64 percent positivity rate last Sunday, February 20.
The DPR on Monday, February 21, was 5.66 percent.
However, the three-day positivity rate is still at a single-digit level.
Before the DPR shoot to double digits in early January this year due to Omicron-driven surge, Cebu City had reported under five percent positivity rate from the first day of the year until January 4.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said one of the coronavirus indicators that show the infections are under control is when the positivity rate is under five percent for two weeks.
The positivity rate, or percent positive, is the percentage of all coronavirus tests performed that come out positive.
Tuesday's DPR came from 49 of the 690 tested individuals whose results came out positive for Covid-19.
Active cases, recoveries, deaths
Active cases have been under 1,000 since Sunday, February 20.
As of Tuesday, February 22, the city had 769 active cases.
The EOC reported 187 recoveries and four new deaths on Tuesday, bringing the total number of fatalities this month to 48.
