According to the local task force, the two new COVID-19 patients are a 75-year-old woman from Barangay Barretto and a 31-year-old woman from Barangay Old Cabalan.
The elderly woman manifested COVID-19 symptoms, such as general body weakness, while the other patient was asymptomatic.
Data showed that the new cases raised to 6,989 the total number of infections recorded in the city since the pandemic struck in 2020.
