MANILA — The Philippines on Tuesday recorded 5,683 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, as some cities in the capital region began rolling out the trial batch of Russia's Sputnik V vaccines.
The day's tally of new cases is the lowest in more than a month, or since March 18, when 5,290 additional infections were announced. Experts and health officials earlier said the rate of new infections in the country appear to be declining, but warned that this should not be a reason for the public to be complacent.
