USAID’s five-point strategy to combat COVID-19 includes direct assistance to local governments in fighting COVID-19 and helping individuals protect themselves. USAID is also working to expand community access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. Finally, USAID is supporting the Department of Health in making COVID-19 guidelines widely available.
WHO the Philippines assists
WHO the Philippines has been assisting the Philippine government and the DOH in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This effort is a result of WHO’s collaboration with the DOH’s Field Implementation and Coordination Team (FICT) and the Centers for Health Development (CHDs). Recently, the WHO conducted scoping missions in 10 of the 16 regions outside the National Capital Region (NCR) to assess the needs of CHDs in preparing for the emergence of COVID-19 in those areas. It then deployed staff in the affected areas to coordinate and deliver on the country’s national response to the disease.
UNHCR supported the government in delivering essential relief items to internally displaced families in Malabang, Lanao del Sur. It partnered with the CFSI to distribute solar lamps and mosquito nets to these families. The UNHCR also provided assistance to the MSSD BARMM, a local organization which provides assistance to vulnerable people.
Information sources
COVID 19 has been making its way through the Philippine media, with journalists’ coverage varying from the first days of the outbreak to the end. However, as the COVID virus spreads throughout the country, journalists are grappling with its implications. The impact on journalism is proving to be significant, and it has begun to transform the industry.
The disease has infected over 188 countries, and the Philippines has one of the highest cases among low and middle-income countries. The country’s epidemiology is likely influenced by differences in policy, age, and contact structure. The outbreak has been largely contained, however, by the MHS’s efforts.
While government sources and mass media are the most common source of information about COVID-19, informal sources are also influential. Individuals with the greatest knowledge about the disease are more likely to engage in protective behavior than those with lower knowledge. In addition, people who are more knowledgeable about COVID 19 tend to be more likely to trust sources of information from government and medical organizations.
What is PNP CODA’s Responsibility?
The Philippines has faced many challenges during the early phase of the COVID 19 response. Initially, government efforts focused on travel restrictions, community interventions, and increasing awareness about the hazards of the disease. Pnpcoda continued support from the international community, vaccination programs have been expanding in scope and are now helping a large number of people. Nonetheless, the Philippines needs assistance from the United States in assessing its response and implementing necessary measures to prevent the disease from spreading to the country.
The Philippine government has increased the number of police officers patrolling the streets. The PNP coda is also prioritizing the use of cameras to detect crimes. In addition, it has deployed more personnel and equipment to conduct tactical police operations. In response to COVID-19, the Philippines has increased the number of police officers in the country.
conclusion
The Philippines has the second highest number of COVID-19 cases and over 18,000 deaths from the epidemic. It has become a regional epicenter, and the country’s response to the epidemic has been particularly draconian. The most serious outbreak occurred in April, when the number of cases jumped exponentially.
