How Filipino health community reacted to Philippines' record-high 7,103 COVID-19 cases

Tony Leachon, former consultant of the National Task Force against COVID-19, meanwhile, urged the government to impose stricter lockdowns anew to help reduce the transmission rate and prevent health care collapse.

“Record breaking COVID cases today at 7,103. The government should move quickly to shift to MECQ or ECQ to slow down the virus to prevent healthcare collapse. Hospitals are full with COVID and non COVID cases. Sense of urgency is needed,” Leachon. She shared graphs on how the country is faring both in public health and in the economy compared to other countries.

“We have the worst trajectory in the number of new covid cases and worst economic performance compared to our neighbors. All figures definitely not mine. Again, first step in keeping our acts together is to acknowledge how big a problem we have,” she said. The graphs which came from Financial Times and think tank IBON Foundation showed that the Philippines is the only country with an uphill trajectory in COVID-19 infections.
