The government is capable of keeping Filipinos in China safe amid a surge of COVID-19 cases there, Philippine Ambassador to China Jame Florcruz said Wednesday. READ:
“The government will continue to provide assistance to anyone in need,” he said in Filipino.Florcruz said the COVID-19 situation in China “seems to be under control.”
The Department of Health on Wednesday said eight unvaccinated Filipino travelers who recently arrived from China tested positive for COVID-19. Meanwhile, former Health secretary and Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin on Wednesday advised concerned government agencies not to make drastic decisions over plans to reintroduce mandatory COVID-19 tests for travelers arriving in the country.
To allay concerns of a new surge as a result of Chinese travelers, Garin said China has a 95 percent vaccination coverage, but the World Health Organization reported in December 2022 that 87 percent of Chinese people are vaccinated with two shots of the local homologous vaccines, Sinopharm and Sinovac-Coronavac, but only 55 percent are boosted. Older Chinese who are more vulnerable to serious illness have been particularly resistant to boosters.
