The spike in the cases is the result of the fast turnaround of test results from a COVID-19 laboratory in the city that started operations on May 19, he insisted.

Local health authorities still monitor 78 suspected as COVID-19 carriers, who are confined in different hospitals in Quezon, while 65 others are on home quarantine.
