That’s why everyone should get booster shot. I know some people are afraid to get booster like my mother so i think the DOH should do more to encourage everyone to get booster.
I hope this coronavirus will end na next year kasi nakakapagod ng magsuot ng facemask nakakasagabal na siya.

This is not a greatness since face to face classes are starting, I think the new cases also have students that may affected. I think we also need to start again strict rules implementing inside the classrooms and transportation vehicle but not limiting a face to face work/classes. Hoping this will not increase anymore like before
