Written by CDO COVID19 Response Team

The number of positive cases of COVID-19 in Northern Mindanao has already reached 430, as of July 21.

Out of the total positive cases, 373 came from Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) or Returning Overseas Filipinos (ROFs).

Positive cases in Cagayan de Oro City alone reached 121 (actual count), wherein 95 came from LSIs/ROFs.

Figures from CDO also indicated 63 out-patients, 51 recoveries, 6 deaths, and 1 currently admitted at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), the region's COVID-19 referral hub.

Records from the Feasibility Analysis of Syndromic Surveillance using Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler (FASSSTER Philippines) have indicated that the case doubling time for CDO is at 14.41% with 15.38% Critical Care Utilization Rate (CCUR) for the period of July 10-18, 2020.

FASSSTER Philippines is an evidence-based forecast of possible cases and scenarios on the spread of COVID-19 in the country.

The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has placed the entire Region 10 under the Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) status until July 31, 2020.

The MGCQ status is the transition phase between GCQ and New Normal when the following temporary measures are relaxed and become less necessary: (1) limiting movement and transportation, (2) the regulation of operating industries, and (3) the presence of uniformed personnel to enforce community quarantine protocols.
