No second wave yet, Palace, DOH clarify

Malacañang also disputed Duque’s claim, and apologized for the confusion it had caused.

“We apologize for the confusion that this has caused,” said Dr. Beverly Ho, the DOH health promotions and communications service director. “If there is no agreement on the basic data, it affects their credibility,” Drilon said in a radio interview. Without the testing of a significant portion of the population, the country cannot claim that it has effectively manage the spread of the disease, he said.

Sen. Joel Villanueva said he was worried about the government’s handling of the outbreak “if the person in charge is more confused than the rest of the country.”On Wednesday, Duque, the DOH chief, said that epidemiologically speaking, the first wave occurred in late January when the three Chinese visitors were found positive for the coronavirus.

He warned that prematurely lifting quarantine restrictions could lead to a “third wave” of infections.

LeilasINQ Ano kayang wave iyan - kaway o alon? Bugso siguro.

LeilasINQ wow. first time! ganyan dapat. pag nagkamali aminin. hindi yng pinagtatakpan at pilit na sinasabing tama (madami pang pwedeng ipag apologize mga pre)

LeilasINQ malacañan vs. DOH ... sino ang nasa health sector

LeilasINQ This is a humble move from the government! Apology accepted! Second wave will never come because the first wave is more than enough for the government to handle!

LeilasINQ So much apologizing ..... to much mistake and misinformation about the real status of the country in covid 19... ano ba talaga ?

LeilasINQ Lol. It’s business as usual then! Kilala namang palpak ang gobyernong ito lalo na ang communication deptartment na may multi billion na budget para pagtakpan ang BAHO at katangahan ng administration ! duterte inutil dds salot

LeilasINQ Heto kasi yun, kaya nasa 2nd wave na ang Pinas.😂😂😂 PCTTO

LeilasINQ Duque should not strap himself on his doh position. He has proven to be non efficient, confused. He should resign not to save his face...... But to save the Philippines. Plsssss........

LeilasINQ May masisibak ba?

LeilasINQ Sandakot kayong mga gago. Get your fucking act together and serve with a little common sense.
