The controversial memo of Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia to practice steam inhalation or “tuob” to prevent Covid-19 infection has garnered reactions, including one from Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
Mayor Oscar Moreno warned private clinics conducting rapid diagnostic tests, especially to persons returning to their workplaces, that they will be facing legal action if they continue to do so without coordination from government health authorities.
The City Government has decided to drop the use of rapid diagnostic kits in the screening of persons entering Davao City, citing its low effectivity in detecting COVID-19 infection.
Despite calls for mass testing trending on social media, daily wage earners out on the street no little what this means and how it will help in the fight against the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
“Right now, it’s between afraid of dying from COVID or dying from hunger.”
