Number of COVID-19 Cases Among Filipinos Abroad (As of 03 November 2020)

Today, the DFA reports an increase both in the total number of confirmed cases and recoveries from COVID-19 among Filipinos abroad, with 119 and 75 cases, respectively, from Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. Meanwhile, 11 new fatalities were also reported in the Middle East and Africa.

The reported increases are due to belated reports and privacy concerns in several countries in the Middle East and Africa.

To date, the Middle East and Africa remains to be the region with the most number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, recoveries, under treatment, and fatalities among our nationals. The Americas has the least numbers in all categories compared to other geographic regions, except in the total number of deaths, wherein Asia and the Pacific ranks lowest with a total of only 9.
