MANILA, Philippines — Senator Nancy Binay on Sunday slammed the Department of Health (DOH) for its pronouncement that it is too early to conclude that COVID-9-infected Chinese tourists, who visited
“Seryoso?! So, ‘di pala sa turistang Chinese galing ang Covid sa Pilipinas. But would the DOH be willing to explain to us kung sino ang nagdala at kung paano nakalusot ang Covid sa atin?” Binay said in a statement.
“By saying na ‘di sapat ang ebidensya na galing sa Chinese tourists’ ang Covid is practically admitting that they are a failure in contact tracing–which explains why they failed to stem the spread of the virus–and continue to be so,” the senator said. This despite the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine study showing that the coronavirus strain that circulated in the Philippines is different from what the three Chinese tourists contracted.
