DOH finds duplicates in list of COVID19 positive test results during validation
MANILA – Many of COVID-19 positive test results being validated by the Department of Health were found to be duplicates, an official said Tuesday, as the agency works to clear the backlog of possible confirmed cases.
“Ngayong pumasok na ang karamihan ng kompletong line list ng ating laboratories, karamihan pala sa 23,000 cases na recorded ng mga laboratoryo ay mga duplicates sa iba pang mga laboratoryo. Ibig sabihin ay marami ang dumodoble,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a virtual press briefing.
Then, the epidemiology bureau identifies and removes duplicate entries such as multiple tests done for one patient.
