The Philippine government has designated three additional 'anti-COVID czars' to bolster its test, trace, and treat strategy.

Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong will oversee tracing efforts, Public Works Secretary Mark Villar will manage isolation centers, and Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega will handle treatment.

Previously, Vince Dizon was named the chief testing czar, while retired general Carlito Galvez Jr. remains the overall chief implementer of the government's coronavirus response.
