Daily infections rose to a record last week in the Southeast Asian nation, where one in nearly five Covid-19 tests comes back positive and vaccination rates lag its neighbors.
The Philippines is at risk of a “humanitarian crisis that will overwhelm the country and wipe out families” unless the government steps up testing, tracing and treatment efforts, opposition Senator Francis Pangilinan said in an April 3 statement.

THE National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (Nitag) on Friday, February 26, 2021, announced that it has decided to stick to the prioritization framework for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccination program and give healthcare workers priority in the rollout of the Sinovac vaccine.
This, despite the advice of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the Sinovac inactivated vaccine against Covid-19 is not recommended for healthcare workers who deal directly with Covid-19 patients.

THE initial 600,000 doses of Sinovac vaccine donated by China to the Philippines are expected to arrive in the country on Sunday, February 28, 2021, but rollout of the vaccination campaign will not happen immediately.
In a press briefing held in Pamplona, Negros Oriental on Thursday, February 25, Presidential Spokesperson Secretary Harry Roque Jr. said the government is well-prepared for the arrival of the Philippines’ first doses of Covid-19 vaccines, including the hospitals that will be the first recipients of the vaccines.
“Handa na po ang ating mga ospital, kasama na rito ang Philippine General Hospital (PGH),” said Roque, adding that medical frontline workers of the PGH will be among the first to be vaccinated if they are willing.
