This is a good sign na nagiging effective ang pagsunod natin sa protocol, also the effectiveness of vaccines. Hope na mas bumababa pa ito specially within Metro Manila para magkaroon na tayo ng better new normal at mas makagalaw ng tayo ng maayos.

I hope this is True, and Praying na magkaroon tayo ng Effective and Strict Protocols sa bawat Voting Centers. I may truly have some doubts but still Praying for our Safety and Health, we can not afford another surge. DOH please tell us the Truth about the daily positive new cases, STOP CAMPAIGN RALLIES NOW… it will lead to Alert Level 4 again after the Election.

Good to know that COVID-19 cases in the Philippines continue to decrease. Hopefully before 2022 ends COVID-19 is totally gone.

Good news ito para sa ating lahat.Sana lang di makampante ang nga tao.Alalahanin pa din natin na may banta pa rin ng Covid19 at di pa rin natatapos ang pakikipaglaban natin sa nasabing sakit.Malaking tulong na rin siguro kung bakit hindi na ganun kadami ang mga positive cases dahil halos lahat na sa atin ay fully vaccinated at meron na ding mga booster shot.Kailangan pa rin ng dobleng pag iingat at maging responsable ang bawat isa para mapigilan ang muling pagtaas ng kaso dito sa atin.Wag pa rin nating kalimutan ang mga naipatupad na mga protocol,ang HUGAS,IWAS at MASK.

This is a very good news to hear the fact that we’ve been having a great fear these past 3 years because of covid 19, but still it doesn’t change the fact that COVID isn’t gone yet and is still there so there’s no reason for us to be negligent again since there’s still a chance for us to be infected by the said virus. The decrease of COVID-19 cases only shows that we’re all doing great but still let’s give the same effort we did during the surge of COVID by following health protocols.Keep ourselves always safe..

Its good that the daily infection rate of Covid 19 pandemic is lowering but still we need to be careful especially grand rally are everywhere and i noticed that most of the attendees of grand rally are not following protocols and not also wearing masks, Hindi na ako magtataka sa pagtaas ng kaso ng covid pagkatapos ng election. So i would expect another lockdown after the election and i hope this would not happen.
Let us not forget that there is still a virus that could quickly spread if we are not careful enough.

It’s good to hear that cases are lowering down but still we have to be vigilant and extra careful. Obey the protocols and health guidelines as much as possible because COVID-19 is still there. Don’t be at ease. It’s better to stay at home if you don’t have any important thing to do outside. Let’s do are part in combating this unseen enemy.
