The health official said the sheer number of new coronavirus infections is seen as the"most plausible explanation" for the high number of deaths. But Vergeire said it cannot be attributed to a single factor.

DOH is monitoring the situations in Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Metro Manila, Central Visayas, Cagayan Valley, Western Visayas, Ilocos Region, and the Cordillera Administrative Region.Meanwhile, DOH said the worst is not over for Metro Manila as the peak in new cases has yet to happen.
