COVID-19 cases soar in regions outside NCR - DOH
The Department of Health (DOH) has identified six regions experiencing an increase in COVID-19 cases and nearing "high risk" levels for healthcare utilization.
These regions include the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Cagayan Valley, Zamboanga Peninsula, Caraga, Calabarzon, and Central Luzon.
Additional regions like Region 4B, Region 6, Region 1, Region 10, and Region 11 are also showing a rise in cases.
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire noted that within these regions, specific provinces are contributing to the higher case numbers.
The DOH attributes this surge to increased mobility, reduced adherence to health protocols, the spread of new COVID-19 variants, and delays in isolating positive cases.
