The Department of Health (DOH) reports  8,773 additional COVID-19 cases today. This brings the total number of active COVID-19 cases in the country to 99,891—or 14.1% of the 693,048 total confirmed cases.

Meanwhile, 56 additional fatalities and 574 recoveries were reported.

The DOH added that based on the reports from Wednesday, March 24, 16.1% of the 35,480 persons tested were positive of COVID-19.
