MANILA, Philippines – Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire on Monday, April 13, said that the coronavirus pandemic in the country might last until January 2021 if no intervention is done. "Ang atin pong mga estimation ay galing sa ating mga scientists, sa mga mathematicians... Worst case scenario, base po sa kanilang pag-aaral ay next year po ng January... Ito po ay mangyayari kung wala tayong gagawin na intervention,"According to Vergeire, vaccines for the coronavirus being developed by other countries would take about 6 to 12 months or even 1 and 1/2 years to be ready for commercial use.
