Some 30% of the new cases come from Metro Manila which just entered its second month under the looser general community quarantine where public transportation has resumed and most businesses are back in operation. The DOH explained that no deaths were reported on Thursday because the deaths initially reported to them"still require validation" because"either the date or cause of death is missing."For the past week, the new deaths reported per day did not surpass 10.
Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega said the enhanced community quarantine was"effective" in alleviating the impact of COVID-19 in the Visayas urban hub.
