Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in Metro Manila could go as high as 5,000 a day by the latter part of August if a “circuit-breaking” or an early hard lockdown would not be enforced in the capital region for two weeks starting Aug. 1, OCTA Research fellow Fredegusto P. David told a virtual press briefing. Metro Manila averages 1,000 new COVID-19 infections a day.
