But currently, the infections in the Philippines took a turn for the worse in recent weeks, hitting records high and prompting the government to put Manila and surrounding provinces under strict COVID-19 precautionary measures. An even stricter lockdown is anticipated should hospitals get swamped with COVID-19 patients.
