ON THE 89th day of 2021, the Cebu City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) recorded a 6.71 percent Covid-19 positivity rate—the lowest positivity rate recorded in the city since the start of the new year.

This was achieved after the city recorded only 57 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Tuesday, March 30, according to City Councilor Joel Garganera, deputy chief implementer of the EOC.

Garganera said the new cases were from a set of 850 individuals who were tested for the virus that causes Covid-19.

“The EOC is elated because for this year we have (recorded) the lowest positivity rate,” he told reporters.
