The presence of the Delta variant of the coronavirus in the Philippines should not hinder the government in achieving its target of vaccinating 70 percent of the country’s population by the end of this year, a health expert said.

The presence of the Delta variant of the coronavirus in the Philippines should not hinder the government in achieving its target of vaccinating 70 percent of the country’s population by the end of this year, a health expert said on Tuesday, July 20.

“Sa ngayon, hindi pa ito major factor para ibahin natin ang target natin na 70 percent. So ganoon pa rin ang magiging target now 70 percent. We are sticking to our target),” said Solante during a televised press briefing. Solante urged the public to strictly adhere to the minimum public health standards, noting that a person carrying the Delta variant can transmit this virus to at least six other people in “one interaction.”
