MANILA - Doctors in the Philippines have appealed to the government to reimpose tighter movement restrictions in the area around Manila as coronavirus cases continue to surge.
"Healthcare workers are united in sounding a distress signal," Jose Santiago, president of Philippine Medical Association, said."Our healthcare system has been overwhelmed." Doctors also want the country's Department of Health to be the lead agency in the fight against the pandemic and not leave its implementation to local government units.
The Department of Health on Friday said there were 4,063 new Covid-19 cases, the highest single-day increase, bringing the total to 93,354 - the second-largest number of infections in Southeast Asia.
