Department of Health officer-in-charge Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire
MANILA, Philippines — There is no need for the country to shut or tighten its border control protocols amid theDepartment of Health officer-in-charge and Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said on Thursday. “The DOH doesn’t think it is required or it is needed already that we close our borders or have this regulation or restriction specifically to China only because of what is happening in their country,” Vergeire said in a press briefing.
Vergeire pointed out that the country is now more prepared with a high vaccination rate, and most people still practice minimum public health standards.“As for the closure within our borders, we cannot just have a closure, then open it, and then close it then open it. We are all moving forward because we would like to reach that new normal,” she added.
