It’s hard to tell ทดลองเล่นสล็อต xo ทุกเกม whether the Philippine government intentionally
sought to mark exactly one year since the 2020 Metro Manila COVID-19 lockdown by
tightening quarantine restrictions once again, first on Mar 15, and then further on Mar 22.
New COVID-19 cases have been piling up at an alarming rate recently, with the capital as
the epicentre, home to roughly a tenth of the national population.
City mayors, with the backing of the administration, resolved to impose stricter checkpoints,
a 10pm curfew, and a limit to general public mobility and economic operations.
What little difference a year makes as an end to one of the longest lockdown periods in
the world becomes that much more unimaginable.
The latest move has been prompted by the abrupt increase in daily average cases
(more than 4,600), the second-highest in Southeast Asia. The numbers are comparable to
the height of transmission last year and show a 113 per cent hike from the end of February
to the present.
On Mar 18, the Philippines recorded its highest-ever number of confirmed infections in a day,
at 7,103, breaching the 70,000-mark of active cases, the highest since August last year.
Two days later, the record was broken once more, as cases in a single day reached 7,999.
More than 12,000 deaths have been reported.
Whereas Indonesia, the country with the most COVID-19 cases in the region, has steadily
curbed infections, the Philippines is on the uptick.
