DOH: Carlos remains RITM director, Santiago assists

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III clarified that Dr. Celia Carlos remains as director of RITM.

Assistant Secretary Nestor Santiago has been designated to oversee and assist RITM in managing testing facilities and addressing operational issues.

Duque emphasized that the earlier department order stating Carlos was replaced was an error, which has since been corrected.

Netizens criticized politicians for allegedly skipping protocols on testing despite limited test kits available.
