The pandemic is not over and we are yet in the phase of the pandemic although mas manageable ngayon kasi mababa na ang mga kaso, hindi na napupuno ang mga hospitals, mababa na rin ang mga death rate but we should not think that this pandemic is over,” said infectious disease expert Dr. Rontgene Solante in a public briefing.
“Covid is still with us, there is steep transmission, so kailangan pa rin magmatyag, and be vigilant with all the movements and be careful also with all the gatherings that we have,” he added.
