Marcos said his administration is studying the current trends of COVID-19, particularly looking at the rate of increase of the occurrence and its baseline, among other factors. READ:
“Ako ang tinitingnan ko is although ‘yung rate of increase lumalaki, ang baseline natin na sinimulan eh maliit lang so hopefully we’re still going to be able to do it,” Marcos added.
The President said the government is also putting into consideration how the summer heat affects the health of the public, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19. This, he said, may prompt the government to conduct a vaccination drive among the public to boost their immunity against the severe respiratory illness.
“Looks like we will have to conduct again, especially for the young people, a vaccination push para mabawasan na ‘yan, especially with people na nahihirapan na nga eh dahil sa init, humihina ang katawan and that will make them more vulnerable to COVID-19 again,” Marcos said.IATF retains COVID-19 alert level in most parts of PH; some restrictions in effectINQUIRER.net wants to hear from you!
