Doctors plead for help as they can no longer accommodate all the patients and they failed to obtain oxygen supply. Many patients are receiving treatment inside the vehicles due to hospitals going beyond their capacities already.

According to the Department of Health (DOH), 105 Filipinos who have travelled history to India have arrived in the Philippines before the travel restrictions were implemented but the two (2) travelers who tested positive for the Indian variant of coronavirus were not part of those.
