The Department of Health (DOH) advised health workers to observe precautionary measures amid the threat of the 2019 novel coronavirus acute respiratory disease (2019-nCoV ARD).

Health Undersecretary Rolando Enrique Domingo said that all health workers should wear protective personnel equipment when dealing with patients.

“They are the first ones to be provided with PPEs–that means the googles, headgear, masks, gloves, gowns or aprons, including the shoe guard— they would have to be the first [to have these] because they need to be protected while taking care of those [patients],” he added. They must ensure that their workplaces must be cleaned with disinfectant and that water, soap, and sanitizer must always be available in all their washrooms and toilets.
