Maraming ng Hindi nagsusuot ng mask.hindi na rin nasusunod yung physical Distancing.lalo na po ngayong lhat ng tao ay puede ng lumabas.Dapat ipatupad ulit ang health protocols at maghigpit ulit ang ating pamahalaan para tuluyan na tayong makalaya sa pandemyang ito. At maging Zero cases na ang ating bansa. Mga kapwa ko pilipino sundin po ntin ang health protocols .magbakuna mag pa booster at wag kalilimutan na andyan pa rin si Covid. Wag po tayo maging kampante.
