MANILA - Some 690 health workers have volunteered to serve in the fight against COVID-19 after the Department of Health called for support as cases in the country continued to climb.

"No amount would ever be equal to the service you have committed to render our countrymen as you prepare to support other healthcare workers already at the frontlines," it said in a statement Sunday. "With the passage of the Bayanihan Act...we anticipate more flexibility to realign budgets further and receive additional funds for emergency hiring of temporary healthcare workers, among other equally important initiatives," it said.

The government is "willing" to allot payment for volunteer health workers equivalent to the regular salary of their counterparts who are newly-hired by government, ACT-CIS Rep. Eric Go Yap said.
