MANILA, Philippines (13th update; First published on March 8 at 6:42 p.m.) — The Department of Health on Saturday, March 7 announced Code Red sub-level 1 and called for the declaration of a state of public health emergency after new patients tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Social media has been rife with false reports in the past months as the department warned the public against sharing false and unsubstantiated claims, even going as far as to debunk some of these claims themselves.

Although concerns on the country's ability to detect existing cases, let alone fight the spread of the virus are valid, many administration officials say that spreading unverified news can only cause unnecessary panic.

Amid the newfound noise that comes with the department's most recent announcements, here's a running list of the confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in the Philippines.

Not all of those who have been discharged from hospitals are already cleared of the virus, the Department of Health said on Monday, March 15. Discharged patients would receive care in their own homes while observing quarantine and isolation guidelines.

Local transmission

"We need to understand whether this was an isolated infection that happened in the community from somebody who was mildly symptomatic or whether there is clustering of cases with his contacts," Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe, World Health Organization's representative to the Philippines, said.

At the onset of COVID-19's confirmation in the country, the DOH reiterated that it already has a dedicated webpage for announcements, public advisories, FAQs, and other relevant content on the 2019 nCoV ARD. This can be accessed here.

Local transmission means that the virus is now officially spreading among Filipinos on Filipino soil.

"Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, and which are ill-prepared to deal with it," the World Health Organization said in a statement.

Community-based transmission means any person who has been diagnosed with the disease was not in a high-risk area and they were not known to have been in contact with any other confirmed cases. These cases do not fall under the department's screening tool mentioned earlier, meaning that the virus was transmitted to them in the community and it is unclear where they contracted it. — Reports from Franco Luna; Additional reporting from Ratziel San Juan and Agence France Presse
