According to the advisory from the Department of Health, the number of infected cases has risen considerably because of the easing of the lockdown in key cities in the country, which led to "increased contact among the population."

Again, a majority of the new cases were recorded in Metro Manila, which had 1,069; followed by Central Visayas (including Cebu City, which has been put in strict lockdown because of a surge in infections) with 602; various areas, 765; and repatriates, seven.
