Philippine Ambassador to Beijing Jaime FlorCruz has assured that the situation of Filipinos in China remain in good condition despite the spike in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.
Patients with Covid-19 are pictured in beds at Tangshan Gongren Hospital in China’s northeastern city of Tangshan on Dec. 30, 2022.
FlorCruz shared during a media forum on Saturday, Jan. 7, that many Filipinos, including those in Shanghai, who earlier got infected with Covid-19 have already went back to their jobs. China is experiencing an increase in Covid-19 cases after it loosened its government-imposed restrictions in December, the first time since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
He maintained that “science” should always be considered in such a decision to prevent discrimination.
