News Report :

Philippines: COVID-19 cases rise as testing increased, clearing of backlog

By NewsDesk @infectiousdiseasenews May 31, 2020

Philippines health officials reported an additional 590 confirmed COVID-19 cases today,
bringing the country total to 17,224.
The number of daily confirmed cases has risen as a result of increased testing and the
Department of Health’s (DOH) aggressive efforts to catch up on the testing backlog, according
to Health OIC-Undersecretary Dr. Maria Rosario Singh-Vergeire.
According to the DOH, “fresh cases” refer to test results came out and were validated by the
Epidemiology Bureau in the last three days. “Late cases” are those whose results came out four
days ago or more but were just recently confirmed.

Of the newly reported cases today, 252 are “fresh cases”, while 338 are “late” cases.

Much of the reporting of COVID-19 cases has experienced a delay due to operational issues
with the manual data collection. According to public health epidemiologist Dr. Troy Gepte, this
delay needs to be taken into consideration when reading the numbers, because they do not
translate to an increase in local transmission at that very moment.

In addition, eight deaths were reported today, putting the total death count at 950.

Officials say mortality due to COVID-19 has been on the decline since late March, assuring the
DOH that the healthcare sector’s treatment of the illness has been progressively improving.

WHAT IS IT

TASK 1. Directions: Read the information below aloud in front of a mirror and act as if you are a news
reporter. Remember to say each word correctly and do the task afterwards.

News Report: News reporting involves discovering all relevant facts, selecting and presenting the
important facts and weaving a comprehensive story. Reporting involves hard work, which in turn
involves stamina and patience.
News: is information about current events. This may be provided through many different media:
word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, or through the
testimony of observers and witnesses to events. Common topics for news reports include war,
government, politics, education, health, the environment, economy, business, fashion, and
entertainment, as well as athletic events, quirky or unusual events. Government proclamations,
concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news
since ancient times.

Page 8
Speech: -the expression of or the ability to express thoughts and feelings by articulate sounds.
Example: He was born deaf and without the power of speech.
- a formal address or discourse delivered to an audience.
Example: The President made a speech about the country’s current situation.
Informative Speeches: An informative speech is one that informs the audience. However, as
should be clear, this general definition demonstrates that there are many ways to inform an
audience. Therefore, there are several types of informative speeches. The main types of informative
speeches include definition, descriptive, explanatory, and demonstrative.
A definition speech explains the meaning, theory, or philosophy of a specific topic that the
audience likely does not know much about. The topics may be general, such as a sport, or highly
specific, like a particular person. The main goal of this speech is to educate the audience so that
they understand the main points regarding this subject.
A demonstration speech explains how to do something. If you have ever sat through a lecture
where a teacher explained how to create a bibliography, then you have heard a demonstration
speech. Like most informative speeches, a how-to speech will likely use visual examples that show
the audience how to move from step to step through a particular activity. Visualizations help the
audience retain what each step looks like, increasing the likelihood that they will retain the overall
information of the speech.
An explanatory speech might give a description of the state of a given topic. As an example,
consider the types of speeches that are given at industry conferences. The goal of these speeches
is for the speaker to inform the audience on a particular part of an industry. Commonly, these will
also utilize visualizations that give the audience a visual representation of the particular data or
statistics contained in the speech. This is one way to condense highly complex information into an
easily retainable package for the audience.
A descriptive speech creates a vivid picture in a person's mind regarding an object, person,
animal, or place. An archaeologist who has discovered a new temple in South America or a
paleontologist who believes they have found a new dinosaur may use a descriptive speech to
inform an interested audience about their recent discoveries.
Panel Discussions: Panel discussion is a situation in which a group of people are gathered
together to discuss an issue, often to provide feedback on something, to brainstorm solutions to a
problem or to discuss an issue of public concern in front of an audience.

a. An example of a panel discussion is a TV focus group where a group of viewers are

assembled to give feedback to the producers on the show.
b. An example of a panel discussion is when doctors, scientists and experts talk about finding
a vaccine for Corona Virus.
c. An example of a panel discussion is when a group of local politicians hold an open
discussion about the pandemic and invite the public to witness and ask questions or
concerns through on-line means.

957.
So far, 3,909 patients in all have recovered as the DOH reported that 101 more patients survived the
disease.
The spike in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases was due to the Health department’s effort to
catch up with the validation of test results, explained Health Undersecretary Dr. Maria Rosario
Vergeire on Saturday (May 30).

The Philippines ranked third with the most number of cases among the 10- member states of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), after Singapore and Indonesia.
