It's getting worse! COVID-19 in the Philippines
As of 4:00pm today, there are already 462 confirmed cases of COVID-19. The numbers are getting higher and it really caused an alarm to us. On the other hand, there are 18 who recovered as of today, it is still a good news though. But the saddest part, there are 33 deaths already. Why there is such a blown number of confirmed cases? It has been how many days already when President Rodrigo Duterte declared the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon yet, cases are growing in number. Meanwhile, China donated 100k COVID-19 Testing Kits on March 21 and another 3,000 from Singapore for the Philippines to combat this virus that's killing people almost around the earth. The number of cases went high because of the testing kits given or done to those suspected virus carrier but the fear of Filipino people becomes worse. Why? I do not know if this is a fact or just a hear say, that these testing kits were used for VIPs specially so politicians and the members of their family. With this limited testing kits, the people who needed them must be prioritised like those under investigation and under monitoring. But a mass testing is highly suggested since contact tracing is hard to do and since on the first weeks, there are a lot of under monitoring and asymptomatic patients. I just really pray that God will spare us with this deadly virus.
