“It was also sold to me by a friend since I had a hard time looking for cheaper ones,” said Benitez in Cebuano. This is to give operators, drivers, and conductors more time to purchase the air purifiers, according to Quijano.

Rosario Vergeire during a virtual briefer on Monday. Loreche pointed out that while air purifiers can be considered as ‘enhancements’ against COVID-19, however, these should not be treated as alternatives in preventing the spread of the virus.
