The Department of Health (DOH) welcomed the results of the recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey on face mask use, saying that Filipinos have already adopted a “good health behavior” in protecting themselves against Covid-19. ManilaBulletin
Based on the recent SWS survey, 91 percent of Filipinos approved the issuance last year of Executive Order No. 7 that allows the optional use of face masks in indoor and outdoor settings. However, more than half of Filipinos said that they will still use a face mask when leaving their house.
“Ibig sabihin ng survey na ito, pinapakita na ang bawat Pilipino na imbibed na po yung good health behavior kung saan alam na nila kung paano poprotesyunan ang sarili ,” she added. Vergeire said that the average daily cases for the period of March 21 to 27 was at 207. This was slightly higher compared to 156 average daily cases for the period of March 14 to 20.“Like what we always say, nakikita natin na may mga kaunting pagtaas sa bawat lugar but it is not significant for us to say na kailangan na uli natin ng restrictions ,” she said.
“As of now, this kind of increase and decrease in the number of cases expected iyan because the virus is still here and makikita pa rin natin iyan because the virus is here to stay,” she said.
