In an ambush interview, Herbosa stressed that COVID-19 no longer posed an emergency and could be treated as any other disease that the Department of Health (DOH) monitors, like influenza, cough, and cold.
Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said Monday that he would recommend lifting the country's COVID-19 state of public health emergency.
“Actually, wala nang emergency eh, 'di ba? . I think I would actually ask the lifting of the public health emergency in the country,” he said. Under Proclamation 922, the state of public health emergency would remain in force and effect until lifted or withdrawn by the President.
