AMID the threat of pertussis in the Philippines, an infectious disease expert strongly urged the public to consider wearing face masks to prevent its transmission. In a televised public briefing, Philippine College of Physicians president Dr. Rontgene Solante advised the public to revive their habit of wearing masks.'One way to prevent this transmission) is doing what we did during the coronavirus disease pandemic, which is to wear face masks,' said Solante.
Solante said wearing face masks is highly necessary when children go to school, since children are vulnerable to the disease. 'We encourage school children to always wear their face masks,' he said. The PCP chief stressed, though, that even adults and the elderly are vulnerable to the disease.'The adults and elderly may also be vulnerable, especially those unvaccinated from pertussis,' said Solante.
