MANILA - The Philippines is seeing the start of a surge in coronavirus infections, with cases in about a dozen cities in the capital region rising, health officials warned on Thursday (Dec 17). There has been a continuous growth of cases in Metro Manila, signalling the start of a surge. It is not a question any more of if a surge will happen, but when and by how much, Health Undersecretary Rosario Vergeire told reporters.
She said people are increasingly gathering in thick crowds and flouting safety protocols to mark the Christmas holidays.
Data experts estimate that Covid-19 cases could spike, up to 4,000 a day, from a current average of less than 1,500, by end-January.

Philippines seeing surge in infections as people flout safety measures
In the Philippines, people are flocking back to restaurants, markets, gyms and churches. Malls are seeing a noticeable jump in foot traffic. But all this has led to an uptick in Covid-19 cases in the past two weeks, especially in Metro Manila, and President Rodrigo Duterte has urged the public not to hold Christmas parties and large gatherings.
