COVID-19 heat map in Central Visayas as of October 3, 2020.
“Yes. We are in a third wave now. We have been monitoring the cases for the last 4 weeks in Central Visayas, not just Cebu City and our epidemic curve shows an upward trend,” said Cañal. The rise in cases had been attributed to several factors including the evolving nature of the virus, social mixing, inappropriate use of public health and social measures, and inequitable and uneven distribution of vaccines.
As for the vaccine distribution, Doctor Van Baton, the DOH-7 spokesperson for vaccination, said that the supply is simply limited and the distribution and accessibility are affected by this.
