Dumaguete COVID19 cases rise due to easing of travel restriction: mayor

"Natandaan niyo nagspike NCR Plus 2 months ago. During that time, untimely, lumuwag din ang probinsiya namin, meaning yung travel protocols requiring RT-PCR tests for all travelers ni-lift ng gobyerno," Mayor Felipe Remollo told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo.

Dumaguete has some 495 active COVID-19 infections but around 40 percent have completed their 14-day isolation period as per health department guidelines, he said. "For the past 5 days full-force kami. Ang private doctors and nurses sama-sama sa vaccination," he said.The mayor, who recently recovered from COVID-19 said 7 councilors have also tested positive for the coronavirus while the city lost its vice mayor to the disease.

The Philippines on Sunday tallied 7,302 new cases of the COVID-19, bringing its total to 1,315,639. Of this figure, some 59,865 were active infections while 22,788 were fatalities.
