DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña reports late Wednesday night, May 5, to President Duterte on the status of COVID-19 clinical trials in the country.

“Magsisimula sa June 2021 kasi itong Mayo ang ginagawa pa nila ay makuha ‘yung ethics approval para dun sa kanilang gagawin at makapagrecruit ng tao, o staff na syang mag-aadmiister ng clinical trials ,” de la Peña said.

He said the project team is coordinating with the Philippine Red Cross and other facilities for the needed volunteers and to utilize the isolation facilities of the PRC.
