Baguio City officials report that the local Covid-19 situation is still “manageable” despite an increase in infections since May 2026. In a statement dated July 11, Mayor Benjamin Magalong said the city has recorded 41 confirmed Covid-19 cases since the start of the year. He noted that while the number of cases is rising compared with earlier months, the cases reported are mild, and he said there is “no cause for alarm.” The mayor also stated that most of the confirmed infections involve healthcare workers and hospital personnel, rather than the general public. The guidance given by Magalong emphasizes vigilance without panic, based on the current severity of cases and the affected groups being largely within healthcare settings. The reports describe a continuing increase in case numbers but characterize the overall situation as under control at the time of the mayor’s announcement.
