CABANATUAN CITY—Twelve new cases of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were recorded in Nueva Ecija province on Sunday (July 12), the local inter-agency task force said.

Most of the patients were from this city and had been exposed to family members who already tested positive for the virus.

The sudden increase in the number of COVID-19 cases prompted the city inter-agency task force to put on temporary lockdown the village of Magsaysay Norte and Sangitan Public Market starting on Tuesday (July 14), according to the city information and tourism office.
