COVID deaths daily average at 1.5 in Bohol

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, April 13 (PIA) -- Three years and a month after Bohol closed its doors to prevent the entry of the dreaded COVID-19, some 736 Boholanos have since died and until now, with deaths averaging at 1.5 per day.

This is based on the data available from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) manned by the Bohol Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (BIATF EID) and the Department of Health (DOH).

Seeing its continuing threat, the government through the DOH is still relentlessly getting to remote locations to bring the vaccines to the vulnerable sectors: senior citizens, children, and people with comorbidities.

Despite a perceived slackening in the vaccination program with people refusing to get the booster or even the preliminary dose, a daily death average of 1.5 is still relatively high.

Based on data from the EOC, in the last 1,124 days since Bohol declared its borders closed and banned the entry of people from outside not cleared from the disease, Tagbilaran City lists the highest COVID-19 fatality with 139 deaths.

Second is Ubay, which registered 36 deaths since 2020, followed by Talibon with 28 deaths, Loon with 27 deaths, Calape and Carmen with 25 deaths each, Dauis with 23 deaths, Guindulman and Maribojoc with 22 deaths, Jagna with 20 deaths, Panglao with 19 deaths, and Inabanga with 18 deaths.

The Department of Health continues to equip local hospitals, health units, and infirmaries with mobility assets in ambulances with complete provisions for patients travelling to hospitals.
