Daily, there are still new cases of COVID-19 recorded in the Philippines. The World Health Organization (WHO) has previously reminded countries that the pandemic is nowhere near over and it is not done anywhere once it is not over everywhere.
The reminders of the WHO came amid countries easing their restrictions. The international health body expects a surge in the cases in other nations amid the loosening of measures implemented to fight the spread of the virus. Also, there are new subvariants of the virus that are known to be more transmissible.
In the Philippines, the whole country remains under measure with Metro Manila and most of the areas being under the loosest restrictions, the Alert Level 1. Recently, several officials of the government contracted COVID-19.
Cebu Mayor Michael Rama is one of those who recently tested positive for COVID-19. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, his RT-PCR tests taken prior to his supposed visit to Malacañang yielded positive results. The Mayor was supposedly set to attend a meeting in the Palace.
According to the report, Cebu Mayor Michael Rama is showing no signs of COVID-19. Health and hospital operations consultant doctor Mary Jean P. Loreche said that the Mayor is well and there is nothing to be worried about regarding his condition.
Mayor Rama was fully vaccinated and has also received his booster shot. He is currently under quarantine as per the protocol set for fully-vaccinated individuals who had their booster shot. It is his first time getting infected with COVID-19.
According to Dr. Loreche, the full vaccination of the Mayor and his booster shot have greatly contributed to his being asymptomatic. The doctor is encouraging the public to get vaccinated against the virus.
