“At the very outset of the surge of news reports concerning
Covid-19, the President has categorically mandated relevant instrumentalities
of the government to be absolutely transparent to the Filipino people as
regards this health issue, aware that we have the right to be informed of the
conditions surrounding us,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a
statement.
The latest case is a 48-year-old man who had
traveled to Japan and a 62-year-old man with no travel history abroad.
The 48-year-old is in stable condition, while the 62-year-old
contracted severe pneumonia, and is ow admitted in RITM in Alabang.
Panelo said that local government units(LGUs)
have een ordered to strengthen their infection prevention and control
protocols.
“The DOH, which has been following
established international protocols, continues to monitor persons under
investigation. Teams have been formed to do contact tracing,” he said.
Panelo also urges everyone to be the “voice of calm and
sobriety.”
“Accordingly, we also ask the
public to be scrupulous in reading informative materials and not to share
unverified and unofficial information that may only cause undue panic among the
population,” Panelo said.
