Senators oppose DoH decision to halt social media posting of daily COVID case bulletin - BusinessWorld Online

DoH, in a statement on Monday, said it will only be posting daily case updates through the coronavirus tracker found on its website, which is updated at 4 p.m. every day. “This public tracker, which has been operational since the start of the pandemic, contains all information being provided in the case bulletin and the daily situation report.”

“I think that it’s a mistake that the DoH will stop announcing bulletins as it’s a tool for us, the public, to know the positivity rate of infections in the country,” said Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri in a Viber message to reporters. Senator Emmanuel Joel J. Villanueva said the daily bulletins are important in keeping vigilance up. “These daily COVID bulletins are a reminder to the public that the problem is not yet over and that we must continue to be careful and practice safety protocols,” he told reporters in a Viber message.
