Galvez tests positive for Covid-19

National Task Force Against Covid-19 chief implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. (File photo) MANILA - National Task Force Against Covid-19 chief implementer and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Sunday announced he has tested positive for Covid-19. It is the first time he contracted Covid-19 despite being always out since the pandemic was declared in March 2020 as President Rodrigo Duterte tasked him to lead the country's Covid-19 response. In a statement, he said he tested positive for Covid-19 after undergoing his weekly reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test on Sunday. "I am experiencing mild symptoms but remain in high spirits. Members of my immediate family and I are fully vaccinated and have received the booster shot. All of us are under isolation," said Galvez, who is also Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity. He apologized to those he came in close contact with over the last five to seven days, urging them to have themselves tested and observe their conditions. Galvez will continue monitoring the peace processes and vaccination efforts despite being under isolation. At the same, he encouraged the public to get vaccinated against Covid-19. "I encourage the unvaccinated to get the Covid-19 jab as soon as possible and those eligible to take their first and second booster doses. Keep well and stay safe," he added. In January this year, Galvez underwent isolation after 15 members of his staff tested positive for Covid-19. He is primarily responsible for bringing over 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines into the country despite the global shortage. Recent data from the Department of Health showed that over 68.6 million Filipinos have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Of the total, only 13.6 million have so far received the booster shot.

Alfiler) MANILA - Two senators reiterated on Friday their call for students to return to face-to-face classes amid the easing of the Covid-19 situation in the country. Senator Pia Cayetano said she already advised the education sector to prepare for the resumption of face-to-face classes as early as the spread of the Delta variant last year. "Now I was told that only 60 percent of schools have opened for face-to-face. So how about the 40 percent? I am very bothered because every mother will say that it is not easy to teach. It's so hard for the students who are not yet into face-to-face and it's also hard for their parents," she said in a radio interview. Cayetano is concerned about the mental health of the students, saying they need interaction. "I ask the people to lobby in your local government units, in your schools to bring back face-to-face classes," she said. Reelectionist Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, on the other hand, said in a statement that the vaccination drive must be strengthened for more schools to hold face-to-face classes. Gatchalian, chairperson of the Committee on Basic Education, Arts and Culture, warned that prolonged lack of face-to-face classes will result in economic and education scarring. Late last year, the National Economic Development Authority said lack of face-to-face classes for a year will result in about PHP11-trillion loss in productivity over the next 40 years. Gatchalian backs the government's plan to establish Covid-19 vaccination sites in schools at it would increase coverage among minors and would encourage face-to-face classes in more schools National Task Force Against Covid-19 chief implementer, Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., already gave instructions to make Covid-19 vaccines available in all schools. As of the April data, more than 2.6 million or 18.59 percent of children aged 5 to 11 have received their first dose, and more than 9.9 million or 86.51 percent among those aged 12 to 17. (PNA) }
