Families of health workers who succumbed to COVID-19 finally got the ₱1 million death benefit as the Department of Health works on meeting the June 9 deadline for compensating medical frontliners

The Health Department said they delivered the money to the families of 30 healthcare workers as of Saturday.

Aside from the 32 health workers who died from the coronavirus disease, those with"severe" COVID-19 infection are entitled to a ₱100,000 sickness benefit under the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act. "Angry and frustrated" over the delay in the compensation of health workers infected with COVID-19, President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday. The ultimatum was in response to the revelation made in a Senate hearing this week that no infected healthcare worker had received the cash benefits mandated under the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, which was passed in March.
