COVID-19 Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser in an interview with Byaheng DO30, said that even with the lowering number of cases which can lead to much lesser restrictions, Dabawenyos must be wary and observe the minimum public health standards and avail of the free anti-Covid vaccines.
"If we want to be retained under Alert Level 2 and reach Alert Level 1, we have to be very responsible. We have to follow the minimum public health standards because it is our way of mitigating the risk of infection,” she said.
Schlosser renewed her call to Dabawenyos to cooperate and avail of the vaccines and get a booster dose for their protection.
On February 18, the city was able to administer 200,874 booster doses which cover 15.76 percent of fully immunized individuals.
Davao City recorded 588 active cases as of Tuesday (Feb. 22).
