Saloma stated that the authorities have to beef up border controls and advised the public to get vaccinated to save you similarly covid-19 transmission.

“Pa’no natin ma-comfortable na hindi ito mapunta sa atin (how are we able to secure that we are able to no longer get the virus)? As an awful lot as possible, of direction, strengthen our border controls and at the equal time, for my part and collectively, very very crucial po na magpa-vaccine tayo at saka protected tayo (that we get vaccinated and guarded) in opposition to a lot of these editions,” she stated. The branch of health on Monday stated that there is no detected IHU version inside the country.
