The DOH has directed hospitals to reopen wards and add beds for COVID-19 patients to prepare the country’s healthcare sector in the event of a pandemic resurgence. READ:
The health official added that while COVID-19 hospitalizations remained manageable, some hospitals were experiencing “moderate to high” admission rates due to a lack of intensive care unit and non-ICU beds.
On Tuesday, Vergeire said bringing back mask mandates was “unnecessary” and a “knee-jerk” reaction that could adversely impact the economy. “Although the rate of increase is growing, the baseline of where it started is just low, so hopefully we’re still going to be able to [control] it,” he said. The donor country has already secured legal requirements, including an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, as well as clearance from the Office of the President.On Tuesday, Vergeire said the vaccine manufacturer was finally convinced to waive the indemnification clause it had required to be able to proceed with the donation.
