National Task Force Against COVID-19 Chief Implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez, Jr. releases statement, “In Batangas and Pampanga, COVID cases are increasing, including the attack rate. At present, our situation in Metro Manila is improving but we noticed a spike in COVID cases in the provinces, including Mindanao and Visayas. Cases are increasing in Regions VI, IX, X, XI, and also Palawan in the past days.”
