The Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division (QCESD) reported on Sunday that 146 COVID-19 cases have been recorded in Quezon City in 2026, with infections increasing by 265.22 percent over the past three weeks.

“From 23 confirmed cases recorded between May 21 and June 10, the number increased to 84 cases between June 11 and July 1, 2026. As a result, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases recorded in Quezon City in 2026 has reached 146,” the QCESD said.

Based on the city's surveillance data, District 4 recorded the highest number of cases, accounting for 32.71 percent of the total, followed by District 1 with 22.43 percent.

Among the barangays with the highest number of recorded cases were Doña Imelda with 11 cases, followed by Culiat, Salvacion, Santa Teresita, Santo Cristo, Sauyo, Socorro, and Tandang Sora, with four cases each.
