At patuloy pa sana itong bumaba yung tipong zero case. Basta lagi lang tayong mag-iingat at sumunod sa minimum health protocol para sa ikakabuting nating lahat.

Daily Reporting of new covid cases is truly understandable than weekly reporting. 272.3 cases a day… must Stay away and Keep safe always from Covid-19, Use Properly your Face Mask, Maintain Social Distancing, and Avoid large crowds. With 428 deaths out of 1,906 new cases, that’s 22.45% or more than 2 dead per 10 cases added. It’s Election time better watch out, that’s when they will take away as much Freedom as possible from the citizens. COVID was over a months ago these politicians tasted what it was like to be a tyrant and they liked it very much.

Wow! Its a good news, I hope this lower cases of COVID-19 would continue not only in the Philippines but all over the world. But let us not forget that the case of covid 19 is likely to increase if we are not careful, Especially with the election coming up, you need to be doubly careful for you not to get infected with the virus and as much as possible don’t to go out and don’t join the grand rallies because you are more likely to be infected. Stay at home, Wear your face masks, you can still watch grand rally on Facebook lives.
