“
Dapat, tumanon ta ina. Indi kita mag ginutok. (We should comply with it),” Defensor emphasized, referring to the need to follow health protocols at all times.
Data from the Iloilo Provincial Health Office (IPHO) showed that COVID-19 cases this January registered higher than those recorded in the last two months of 2020.
January has not yet ended, but the province has already recorded almost 600 cases in the 42 towns and a component city of Iloilo province. In comparison, there were only 368 cases last December 2020, and 524 cases last November 2020.
Defensor said the spike in the number of COVID-19 cases was not surprising as health officials already projected it due to the holiday season.
