Quezon City records 146 confirmed COVID-19 cases as of July 1, based on data from the city government’s Epidemiology and Surveillance Division (QCESD). According to the reports, the number reflects the pace of new cases over two periods: from May 21 to June 10, QC reports 23 cases, which then increases substantially to 84 cases from June 11 to July 1. The QCESD characterizes the recent uptick as a sharp acceleration, stating that the past three weeks alone account for a 265% spike in cases. Both outlets report the same overall total and the same underlying breakdown used to describe the rise, with the July 1 figure serving as the reference point for the six-week count. The city attributes the increase to the confirmed infections it records and summarizes the trend as a clear change in case numbers during the later part of the six-week period.
