DOH: No surge despite rise in COVID-19 infections
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire stated on Monday that while the number of COVID-19 infections is rising, there is no surge.
Vergeire noted a 60 to 70 percent increase in cases last week with NCR doubling its average number of cases from the previous week.
The DOH official emphasized avoiding the term 'surge' due to past confusion and warned that cases may continue to rise over the next few weeks.
