The COVID-19 is the biggest problem that most nations and territories across the globe are facing now. It has shaken several healthcare systems and has cost a lot of lives already. The pandemic also brought a lot of changes to countries.
In PH, the protocols in the fight against the spread of the disease include the wearing of face mask and the practice of social distancing. Several establishments also require face shields upon entry.
The World Health Organization (WHO) previously warned that countries must not put their guards down early to prevent a 2nd wave of the pandemic. Even WHO was alarmed by how quick the disease has spread.
COVID-19 exempts no one. The senior citizens and those who have compromised immunity are known to be more susceptible to the virus but several cases showed that both young and old can contract the disease.
