“At least 34 government officials, mostly without symptoms or aggravating conditions, have demanded that the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) of the Department of Health (DOH) prioritize their diagnostic tests for COVID-19, including that of their asymptomatic family members, while persons under investigation (PUIs) displaying real symptoms waited to be tested for the disease,” the report stated.

The COVID-19 test results of Bactol, who died on March 21, were delayed for four days because at least 34 government officials “ordered” theirs to be released within a day, according to two RITM staffers.

Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Francisco Duque III already cleared the circumstance regarding this issue, according to him admittedly that while the said VIP’s did make direct requests to the RITM, he notes that “some of them had really fit in the criteria for testing.”

“For those ‘VIPs,’ so to speak, who had requested that they be tested, they actually fit in the initial set of criteria that would allow them for testing,” the health secretary said.
