The
origin of the novel coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19 is now slowly standing
up from their own battle against the disease and is now in a position to help
other countries.
China
will be donating 100,000 coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) test kits and
other essential medical supplies to the country, this is according to Department
of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr.
"China
(is) getting a chartered flight by the weekend; mysteriously there are no
Philippine flights. I am asked to please alert Customs to let donation through
pronto," he said in a tweet.

The
Foreign Secretary said the donation would also include 10,000 N95 masks, 10,000
sets of personal protective equipment, and 100,000 surgical masks.
The
Chinese embassy in Manila is now coordinating with the Department of Health as to
the turnover of the said essential medical supplies once they arrive in the
country.
"Ambassador
Huang reaffirms that the Philippines continues to stand close in China's heart
as our centuries-long relationship has shown. The Chinese people stand ready to
help their Philippine brothers and sisters to go through this difficult
time," the embassy wrote on its official social media page.
This
is an additional donation after it was announce a days ago, when China donated
a total of 2,000 high-tech test kits, also known as BGI RT-CPR test kits, to
Manila.
