00:00 The washing of hands and face masks to avoid diseases was still done.
00:05 According to experts, the health department confirmed that the country is experiencing more severe diseases.
00:10 Even though it is far from the spreading respiratory illness in China.
00:15 Marisol Abduraman was there.
00:17 Venus, a 3-year-old baby, was born and raised for only a week.
00:26 She was having a hard time breathing and eating because her intestines were painful.
00:32 She was having a hard time and I was having a hard time too.
00:35 I was sleeping.
00:36 She was afraid because she was only a week old and her baby was still not getting better.
00:41 When she was eating medicine, she was getting weaker.
00:44 Now?
00:45 Now, it's been a week.
00:47 She's still not getting better?
00:48 Outside, some were noticing that they were wearing masks again.
00:52 Yes, there are some who are wearing masks.
00:58 For extra protection. COVID is not the only disease in the world.
01:03 Just to protect myself.
01:05 In the latest DOH report of November 11,
01:08 the number of influenza-like illnesses in the country reached 182,721.
01:15 But according to Health Secretary Ted Herbosa, no one should be concerned.
01:20 This is because of the situation in China that our health department is monitoring.
01:25 Don't be worried. We're doing our own surveillance and we will make sure.
01:30 In the Philippines, we haven't reported a rise of the respiratory illness.
01:35 So don't worry, our countrymen, about the news reports on respiratory illness in China.
01:41 Even so, DOH is ready if needed.
01:45 Our hospitals are now ready.
01:46 After our experience with COVID-19, of course, we'll be able to feel as soon as there are rise of cases going to our emergency department.
01:55 The Philippine Federation of Professional Associations is also calling on the public to follow the minimum health standards to avoid illness.
02:03 Wash your hands, cover your nose when you urinate, use soap, and use alcohol.
02:11 We should wear masks. It's hard to breathe and distinguish because some people have allergies.
02:17 Asthma will also come out. So they should be consulted.
02:21 It's said that getting vaccinated against the flu will help according to DOH.
02:25 But the best way to fight any illness is to be healthy.
