MANILA, June 19 (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Philippines Department of Health (DOH) has warned of an increasing number of Covid-19 cases and that the country could see as many as 800 to 1,200 cases per day by the end of June, but there is still no indication of another surge.

“So, we need to prevent that from happening because these projections are not cast in stone. These are just used for us to prepare,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said at the Laging Handa briefing.
