MANILA – The National Economic and Development Authority’s (NEDA) Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) has approved a PHP5.09-billion project to fund the Department of Health’s (DOH) emergency response against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

This was disclosed in President Rodrigo Duterte’s fourth weekly report submitted to Congress on his use of additional powers in dealing with the health crisis.

According to the report, the emergency response project would cover the establishment of testing and patient care centers at six major international airports in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

It would finance the construction of 21 first-line decontamination facilities at international airports in selected areas across the country.
