According to the medical community, the number of COVID-19 cases increased after the ECQ in Metro Manila was converted into a general community quarantine (GCQ).
Following this, health workers from Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center held a protest for their colleague that died due to COVID-19. The workers held up banners that said “Justice for Bonn!”.
Additionally, the medical experts also called for the removal of Health Secretary Francisco Duque from his post. Along with this, they also wanted mass testing for medical workers as the Philippines also had one of the highest infection rates among frontliners.
