As of June 4, 2020 (6PM), confirmed cases of COVID-19 recorded in Bicol Region remain at seventy-five (75).
On results received today
All eighty-two (82) test results received as of 6PM today are negative for COVID-19. Fifty (50) test results are from Bicol Regional Diagnostic and Reference Laboratory (BRDRL) while thirty-two (32) are from Bicol Medical Center (BMC).
Breakdown of negative results today for COVID-19:
PHO Albay - 23, BRTTH - 19, BMC - 7, Camarines Norte - 20, Camarines Sur - 5 and CESU Legazpi -8.
Sa kasalukuyan, maraming impormasyon ang kumakalat patungkol sa mga nagpositive sa Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) katulad ng nangyari sa SM City Legazpi, at sa mga Probinsya ng Masbate, Camarines Norte, Sorsogon, at Camarines Sur.
Paalala sa mga Bikolano na ang RDT ay hindi stand-alone test at kailangan ng confirmatory testing gamit ang RT-PCR. Samantala, ang RT-PCR ay stand alone test at kayang tukuyin kung may SARS-CoV-2 ang isang tao. Kaya tanging RT-PCR at GeneXpert testing lamang ang ginagamit ng DOH sa COVID-19 testing.
Manatiling kalmado at matutong kumpirmahin ang mga impormasyon patungkol sa COVID-19. Narito ang kaibahan ng Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) at Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test.
