(FILE PHOTO) Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 10) Officials in Cebu City are asking that stricter health and safety protocol be enforced after COVID-19 cases in the area quadrupled in just two weeks. According to data from the Department of Health in Central Visayas, there were 81 cases as of December 27, but the numbers jumped to 331 as of January 9. New infections include several medical and other healthcare workers. Local health officials believe the sudden rise in cases is due to gatherings during the holidays, while some cases were reported at workplaces. Cebu City had single-digit increases in November and December, until December 29 when new infections reached 16. From January 1 to 9, the new cases ranged from 11 to as much as 54 new cases in a day.
