MANILA, July 8 (Reuters) - The Philippines' health ministry
on Wednesday reported 2,539 new coronavirus cases, marking the
biggest single-day increase in confirmed infections, and five
additional deaths.
In a bulletin, the ministry said total deaths have increased
to 1,314 while infections have reached 50,359, a fifth of which
were confirmed in the past five days.
The government has warned it might tighten anew the world's
longest lockdown to contain the spread of the virus. It eased
quarantine restrictions in the capital in June to partially
restart the economy.
