Number of COVID-19 cases in QC jumps to 5
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte confirmed the city's fifth COVID-19 case, a 26-year-old male resident of Barangay Bagong Lipunan ng Crame with no recent travel history.
The patient initially sought treatment for dengue at two private hospitals before being diagnosed with COVID-19.
The patient's family is now under quarantine and will be tested for the virus.
Mayor Belmonte stated it was unclear if this new case was part of the 49 confirmed cases nationwide at the time, but assumed it was a separate case.
The previous summary mentioned four cases, including a doctor in his 20s, a 52-year-old doctor, and two other individuals from Timog.
The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic with over 124,000 cases globally.
