With the downgraded Alert Level status in the different parts of the region and the gradual decline of our COVID-19 cases in the region, let us continue to be vigilant and practice the minimum public health standards in all settings. As we go through a more lenient implementation of our border restrictions which cause our mobility to increase, it is very important to still practice our health protocols. The public is also reminded that intensified vaccination rollout against COVID-19 is still being conducted all over the region. Vaccines are still our best defense against the virus and its variants. Get vaccinated and boosted for strengthened community protection.
TOGETHER WE CAN #BeatCOVID-19!
