MB Daily News Update: Health experts say PH can handle another Covid surge


National Task Force Against Covid-19 Special Adviser Ted Barbosa and Philippine General Hospital (PGH) Director Dr. Gerardo Legaspi are of the same opinion that the Philippine health system will be able to withstand whatever challenges that a new Covid-19 surge could pose.

These are among the top stories this Saturday morning, April 23, 2022.
