Sinas said the policeman was hospitalized on April 14 and was scheduled to undergo hemodialysis from April 21 to 23 for his comorbidity but was unable to do so due to his unstable blood pressure and low oxygen level. He died on Saturday. As of Saturday, the PNP has recorded 19,536 confirmed cases of the virus, with 2,065 active cases. But 17,418 have recovered while 53 have died.
