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 21.

Figures today show 322 new confirmed COVID-19 cases, 97 new recoveries, and no new fatalities among Filipinos in Asia and the Pacific and Europe. This brings the total number of COVID-19 cases and recoveries among our nationals abroad to 13,378 and 8,585, respectively. The reported spike is due to another surge in COVID-19 cases in one country in Europe.
