(Eagle News) — Thirty-seven more Filipinos abroad have recovered from COVID-19.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said with the additional recoveries, the COVID-19 recovery total among overseas Filipinos rose to 8069.
Ninety-six more COVID-19 cases, however, pushed the total to 12446.
“The reported spike is due to belated reports from one country in Europe,” the DFA said.
No additional death was reported, which means the death toll among overseas Filipinos due to COVID-19 remains at 861.
The Middle East and Africa regions still have the most COVID-19 cases, recoveries and deaths among Filipinos abroad, with 7553, 4664 and 553, respectively.
