No new COVID-19 cases, deaths reported among Pinoys abroad —DFA

The foreign service posts of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) did not report any new cases or deaths from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among Filipinos abroad on Sunday.

The DFA said that the only new reports they received were of two recoveries in Europe.

“While it could be that this is just a result of weekend dips in reporting, it is still worth taking note,” the department said on Twitter.

The number of Filipinos abroad confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 remained at 2,178. 

Of this number, 642 have recovered, 253 have died, and 1,283 are undergoing treatment.

Europe still had the highest number of COVID-19-positive Filipinos at 651 while the Asia Pacific Region had the fewest with 388 cases.

Meanwhile, the Americas logged the highest number of Filipino COVID-19 deaths at 136. — Julia Mari Ornedo/BM, GMA News
