Duque: PH may stay at Alert Level 1 until end of Duterte's term
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III says the Philippines may remain under Alert Level 1 until President Rodrigo Duterte's term ends on June 30.
Duque said they are still studying the possibility of further de-escalating to Alert Level 0, but no policies have been made yet regarding that.
The government is currently focused on helping areas under Alert Level 2 so they could be downgraded to Alert Level 1 by ramping up vaccination coverage, particularly among senior citizens.
