Officials say Cagayan de Oro needs to adapt while the threat of COVID-19 still looms despite the city's significant progress in returning to normalcy.
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Health officials in Cagayan de Oro have called on commercial establishments in the city to bring back the requirement for customers to present their COVID-19 vaccination cards before entry as a measure to enhance the city’s protection against the virus and reduce the number of infections in public places.
Cagayan de Oro has made significant progress in returning to normalcy nearly three years into the COVID-19 pandemic. In Cagayan de Oro’s public health facilities, people are required to wear face masks and present vaccination cards as well. Retuya, however, cautioned that the data didn’t mean that the virus has been eradicated in the city or in the country as a whole.
The country is set to receive an additional one million doses from the Covax facility in March, according to the health officials. Health systems, especially in rural areas, have been strained by the pandemic, with shortages of hospital beds, medical equipment, and healthcare workers.
