The Quezon City government on Wednesday said the continuous increase in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the city is due to its increased testing capacity.
The local government said this as it ramps up its community-based testing in all of its six districts.
“Testing is like driving with headlights on, which is way better than driving in the dark. Through it, we can properly isolate and give care to our patients who tested positive,” Dr. Rolly Cruz of the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (QCESU) said.
Quezon City, the worst-hit locality in the Philippines with 1,457 coronavirus patients, recently opened community-based testing centers in Districts 1,2, and 3.
