MANILA, May 16 (Reuters) - The Philippines' health ministry
on Saturday reported 11 more coronavirus deaths and 214
additional infections.
In a bulletin, the ministry said total confirmed cases of
the novel coronavirus have risen to 12,305, most of which are in
the capital, while deaths reached 817. But 101 more patients
have recovered, bringing total recoveries to 2,561.
The Philippines on Saturday started loosening its lockdown
in the capital and other major cities to slowly restart an
economy weighed down by quarantine measures.
