MANILA, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The Philippines' health ministry
on Monday recorded 1,738 new coronavirus infections and seven
additional deaths, the lowest daily increase in casualties in
nearly three months.
In a bulletin, the ministry said total confirmed cases had
increased to 409,574, while deaths had reached 7,839.
Despite a downward trend in the number of cases in more
recent weeks, this was not the time to be complacent, health
ministry undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire told a regular
news conference on Monday.
