Meanwhile, 15 persons have been declared recovered, according to the Ministry of Health and Wellness, leaving 87 active cases.

The Ministry’s daily report notes that 473 persons were tested with 477 actual tests done. 94 cases are newly under investigation and no new deaths have been reported, while three persons remain hospitalized due to the disease.
