Government urged: Protect the most vulnerable vs COVID-19Devotees participated in the Walk of Faith procession from Quirino Grandstand to the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila early January 8, 2023. “As we move on, if it (COVID-19) is not a public health emergency, it is still a concern. The vulnerable population will always be the target of higher risk of severe cases and this is where we should focus – on protecting the vulnerable population,” Solante said in a television interview last Saturday. He stressed that the vulnerable population such as the elderly, those with comorbidities, and the immuno-compromised are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 infection and death. Also, the campaign for the general population to get a booster and for the vulnerable population to get a second booster must continue, he said.
