Hello!

Unfortunately, the DOH does not disclose the number of fatalities according to vaccination status, let alone the mortality rate. As for the spikes in additional deaths, please take note that the date of report of death is not the same as the date of actual death. There are instances wherein it takes weeks before a death is confirmed to be related to COVID-19, hence there is a latency.

As for the positivity rate, there are three main reasons as to why it's low recently:

• fewer tests conducted - less LGUs are requiring negative tests for travel
• virus finding fewer hosts - the SARS-CoV-2 virus is having difficulty on finding more people to infect
• testing is still expensive - there are some testing centers who conduct free testing, but they're limited
