MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health (DOH) will stop posting daily COVID-19 case bulletins on social media starting January 1 next year.

“Starting 1 January 2022, the Department of Health will be providing daily case updates via www.doh.gov.ph/covid19tracker which is updated 4 PM daily. This public tracker, which has been operational since the start of the pandemic, contains all information being provided in the case bulletin and daily situation report,” the DOH said in an advisory.

“Hence, to streamline public communication, the case bulletin and the daily situation report will no longer be issued separately as a social media card and as a PDF file, respectively,” it added.

“Rest assured that the DOH will continue to provide the public with the latest information regarding the COVID-19 situation along with other equally important health programs,” the DOH further said.

As of Monday, the latest case bulletin of the DOH showed the country now has 9,579 active COVID-19 cases out of 2.8 million confirmed cases of the disease.
