Asahan na ang pagpasok ng COVID-19 variant na Omicron sa bansa.
Ito ang tugon ni Health Secretary Francisco Duque the thIrd sa tanong ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte kung posibleng makarating ng Pilipinas ang kinatatakutang variant na nadiskubre sa South Africa.
Ayon kay Duque, kabilang sa paghahanda na dapat gawin ay pagpapatupad pa rin ng minimum health standards, pagsusuot ng facemask at face shield sa mga matao at kulob na lugar.—sa panulat ni Drew Nacino
Its not a matter of a it, okay. Its a matter of when. So talagang yan po, papasok yan just what we have experience with Alpha, Beta, Delta among the more a compeling variant of concern.
Must at now, ako ay talagang faceshield ay under the 3-C’s context in the close spaces mag-face shield; in crowded areas. In a close contact setting just like in a transport sector. It is important, that we continue to strengthen and prepare the health system capacity for the worst case scenarios.
