Of the new cases, 41 were logged in Agusan del Sur province, 15 in Surigao del Sur, three in Surigao del Norte, and one each in Agusan del Norte and the Province of Dinagat Islands.

Among the cities, 22 new cases were also recorded in Butuan; followed by Bayugan with 10; Bislig, seven; Surigao, three; and Tandag, two.

DOH-13 also reported 225 new recoveries last week, bringing the total Covid-19 recoveries in the region to 59,062.
