TAGBILARAN CITY—The number of COVID-19 cases in Bohol, a top tourist destination, continued to increase with three more persons testing positive for SARS Cov2, the virus that causes the yet incurable disease.

The number of infections in the province is now 102.

Gov. Arthur Yap, on a Facebook post on Wednesday (Aug. 5), said the three new cases involved a stranded individual returning to the town of Sagbayan and two persons who were infected by local transmission in the town of San Miguel.
