COVID-19 infections in the Philippines are increasing once again in this seemingly nonstop pandemic, with an average of 8,850 new infections beingĀ reportedĀ each day. As of this writing, there have already been 1.66 million infections and more than 29,000 deaths in the Philippines alone. If you are wondering just how many 29,000 is, just try to imagine two full Mall of Asia Arenas. That's how many Filipinos have succumbed to COVID-19 already.
So, the rising number of COVID-19 cases particularly due to the Delta variant in the past month alone had prompted the government to impose lockdowns yet again, with the strictest enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) being imposed in Metro Manila, Laguna, Bataan, Iloilo City, and Cagayan de Oro. These are done supposedly to stop the spread of the coronavirus even when people know that it is vaccinations and not another round of lockdowns that are needed to fight the deadly virus.
