Duterte says PH has flattened COVID19 curve, lauds public for following health protocols
MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday lauded the public for following health protocols imposed by government that led to the flattening of the country's COVID-19 curve.
According to Duterte, the fact that there are less people going around because of the community quarantine imposed by government caused less people to get sick with COVID-19. "Ganito 'yun. Sumunod kasi kayo sa pagbawal, sa ipinagbabawal ng gobyerno. We had obedience, and people followed. That meant a lot and contributed to what is happening now, that there's a flattening of the cases."
Despite the "flattening of the curve," Duterte reminded the public to stay vigilant as the risk of getting infected is still present. Confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Philippines reached 238,727 on Monday as the Department of Health reported 1,383 additional coronavirus infections. But a lower number of cases have been observed starting Sept. 2. Except for Sept. 4, which logged 3,704 new coronavirus infections, the daily report of additional cases in the last 5 days remained below 3,000.
