Santos The Department of Health (DOH) on Sunday vowed to upgrade its strategy in the fight against the new coronavirus within a week, and promised to beef up the health-care workforce in Metro Manila, where medical front-liners are calling for reimposition of strict lockdowns. In a statement dated Aug. 1 but released on Sunday, the DOH, after a meeting with the medical community, said it had committed to advocate for a “timeout” in Metro Manila before the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, the temporary government body overseeing the Duterte administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The DOH, however, did not state clearly whether it was supporting the health workers’ plea to the government to place Metro Manila back on lockdown for two weeks amid a surge in coronavirus infections.
