Rodriguez urges DOH to discourage use of rapid antibody test, cites dangers, recommends RT-PCR instead

Rodriguez aired the appeal as he filed House Resolution No. 1146 recommending that DOH must instead promote the use of reverse transcription polymerage chain reaction or swab test to screen people suspected of having COVID-19.

The House Committee on Health has been tasked to study and deliberate on HR 1146 in order for the House to reach a decision on whether or not the resolution should be adopted and recommended to the DOH. He recalled that pulmonary and critical care specialist Dr. Anna York Bondoc, a former congresswoman from Pampanga, has called on DOH to stop the use of RAT “because they are highly inaccurate.”

He added that Bondoc “believes that wrong clinical decisions made with inaccurate results from rapid tests have been fueling the rise in COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila.”

DOH slammed for misinformation on COVID origin in PH - Manila BulletinSen. Nancy Binay rebuked the Department of Health (DOH) Sunday for twisting facts and sowing misinformation on the origins of COVID-19 in the Philippines and how it started spreading in the country. They just wanted to shift the blame for not doing a lockdown early just like the best performing countries in Asia such as Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea and Thailand to name a few. It's ok to admit mistake in managing the fight against Covid but to claim otherwise makes it glaring! SenatorBinay do u understand what genome sequencing is? Are u an expert now on infectious disease? EdselSalvana can u please educate this most low IQ senator we have on the study of genome and the science of it. But then maybe her brain is too small for it..
