MANILA, Philippines — An additional 1,363 infections of COVID-19 were reported by the Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday, raising active infections to 14,464.
Based on the DOH’s COVID-19 tracker on its website, the new infections also brought the country’s caseload to 3,721,413 nationwide, with 3,646,309 recoveries and 60,640 deaths.
However, the new recorded infections were slightly lower than the cases logged on Monday, which was at 1,660, and the average number of infections recorded from July 4 to 10 at 1,467.
