Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire made the assurance after DOH announced on Thursday night the country’s highest reported recoveries in a day which was at 38,075, as many are questioning the DOH on how it handles the country’s COVID-19 figures.
The Health official noted that this is quite similar to the protocol of the United States of America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , which requires only 10 days of isolation. the common interpretation would be to wait for clinical recovery such as there is no fever anymore for at least three days– there is clinical improvement,” said Vergeire.
“This is what we were implementing before until we changed our protocol because of the evidence that on the 10th day, a patient is no longer infectious,” said Vergeire. “Meron na tayong sapat na ebidensya kaya nga nakapagbigay na even WHO and the other recognize or reputable agencies across the world, nakapagbigay na ng suporta dito na ang isang tao as long as the symptoms have resolve already, at naka sampung araw na sya on the date of onset of illness, sya ay non-infectious na. Ayun yung pinanghahawakan natin ngayon. [We already have enough evidence.
Is that true? Why is the department always changing the rules of research?
They are guidelines, not laws. It is still up to the implementing agency whether to follow them or not based on the public health situation.
LilMsMalditaMD Doc, they should have told everyone about this in advance. May problema talaga tayo sa communications. Noon pa. Hahaha
