DUTERTE – The fight of the Philippines against COVID-19 continues and President Rodrigo Roa Duterte prayed for the nation’s healing.
It has been more than a year now since the fight against the spread of COVID-19 started. Declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) a pandemic, this disease has already cost millions of lives across the globe.
In the Philippines, community quarantine measures are still up as the fight against the pandemic continues. There is currently the rolling out of vaccines and the healthcare workers, the frontliners, are the top priority in the vaccination program.
The national government recently added the families of the healthcare workers and the outbound overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the top priority in the vaccination. The senior citizens and those who have co-morbidities are also prioritized.
Undeniably, almost everyone is eager for the COVID-19 pandemic to be over. The situations now are under a “new normal” – students are learning through modules and online classes, there are travel restrictions, not all businesses can operate on a full capacity, etc.
