“We are currently in dialogue with our medical frontliners to discuss the best steps forward, and in doing so we will ensure to strike a balance among all the important factors that we have to take into account,” the health department said in a statement to reporters.“The DOH is grateful to the medical societies for their continued trust in the department and for their support in coming up with solutions to the ongoing health crisis,” read the statement.
Earlier in a press conference of the Philippine Colleges of Physicians, Philippine Medical Association president Dr. Jose Santiago said the stricter coronavirus lockdown will address “hospital workforce efficiency, failure of case finding and isolation, failure of contact tracing and quarantine, transportation safety, workplace safety, public compliance with self-protection, social amelioration.”
Malacañang rejected this appeal, saying lockdowns alone will not stop the further spread of COVID-19. The coronavirus disease infected 98,354 people. Of the number, 65,178 recovered while 2,023 have died.
