THE surge of COVID-19 cases in Pangasinan last week was put in check  anew after more infected patients  recovered as the provincial government continues to maintain its high alert level against the entry of COVID-19 Delta strain.

From July 8 to 15, the number of new confirmed active cases admitted in hospitals or placed on home quarantine and LGU facilities quarantine totaled 687 against 676 patients that recovered, while there were only three patients, two from Pangasinan and one in Dagupan City that died.
