Manila struggles to handle COVID-19 pandemic despite world's longest lockdown

Description

Manila, May 29 (EFE/EPA).- The Philippine capital of Manila was on its way to marking the world's longest coronavirus lockdown period when on Friday it reached 76 days under strict quarantine, a period only matched so far by the Chinese pandemic epicenter of Wuhan, even though the measures appear to have largely failed in flattening the curve of infections.Cut off by land, sea and air since Mar. 15, the city has continued to be the biggest COVID-19 hotspot in the Philippines, accounting for 64 percent of the over 15,500 cases in the country and 73 percent of more than 900 deaths.
