In his statement, DOH-Bicol regional director Dr. Ernie Vera said that he recieved reports that some of the patients, as well as health workers, were being harassed by local residents, with some resorting to even stoning the victims’ houses or shaming them in social media sites.
“Lubhang mahirap ang pinagdadaanan ng mga may sakit na COVID19. Maliban sa pisikal na paghihirap, sila ay nakakaranas ng takot, lungkot sa pagkahiwalay sa pamilya ng matagal, at sa katotohanang hindi sila maaring madalaw o mayakap ng kanilang pamilya habang sila ay may sakit,” he narrated. “Imbes na sila ay ating saktan, sisihin,pandirihan at itaboy dahil sa takot na mahawa tayo sa COVID-19, sila po ay dapat nating unawain at bigyan ng kalinga upang patuloy na gumaling ang mga pasyente at hinihinalaang may sakit, at patuloy ding magsilbi ang ating mga health worker na may lakas ng loob at suporta na nanggagaling sa atin. Ang mga health worker ay dapat nating pasalamatan at bigyang pagpupugay bilang mga makabagong bayani ng ating bayan.
mga tanga ano tayo 2000 years ago? basta nagkasakit parusa ng langit? thank you doh for calling out these fools. 🙏
