MANILA — Local government units will have to comply with COVID-19 recovery guidelines, including not requiring repeat testing, to help decongest hospitals and quarantine facilities, the Department of Health said on Monday.
Vergeire said this in response to reports that some LGUs are still requiring patients to get a negative polymerase chain reaction test to be declared as recovered. “If they are not going to follow, talagang hindi na maaayos ang health system natin na capacity ,” she added. “That is one of the things that has to be [understood and accepted by] local governments.”
WHO Representative to the Philippines Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe told ABS-CBN News on July 31 that they changed their protocol in late May after seeing that many recovered patients were still testing positive for COVID-19.
