COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines
The COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (). The first case in the Philippines was identified on January 30, 2020, and involved a 38-year-old Chinese woman who was confined at San Lazaro Hospital in Metro Manila. On February 1, a posthumous test result from a 44-year-old Chinese man turned out positive for the virus, making the Philippines the first country outside China to record a confirmed death from the disease.

After over a month without recording any cases, the Philippines confirmed its first local transmission on March 7, 2020. Since then, the virus has spread to the country's 81 provinces. National and local governments have been imposing community quarantines since March 15, 2020, as a measure to limit the spread of the virus. These include the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) that was implemented in March–May 2020. On March 24, President Rodrigo Duterte signed the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, a law that granted him additional powers to handle the pandemic. This was repealed by a follow-up law, the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, which he signed on September 11.

More than 1.4 million cases have been reported since January 2020, resulting in more than 24,000 deaths. In terms of international rankings, it has the 2nd highest in Southeast Asia, 6th in Asia, and 24th in the world. The largest single-day increase in the number of confirmed cases was reported on April 2, 2021, when the Department of Health (DOH) announced 15,310 new cases.

The Philippines had a slightly lower testing capacity than its neighbors in Southeast Asia during the first months of the pandemic in the country. COVID-19 tests had to be taken in Australia, as the Philippines lacked testing kits. By the end of January 2020, the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila began its testing operations and became the country's first testing laboratory. 265 laboratories that are capable of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been accredited by the DOH since then. As of June 20, 2021, 225 of these have conducted 14,478,836 tests from more than 13,589,495 unique individuals.
