Go said the imposition of enhanced community quarantine is taking its toll on the economy, noting the healthcare system will suffer if the nation’s hospitals reach full capacity.
Go, chairman of the Senate committee on health, asked the country’s local government units (LGUs) to strictly follow the national government’s “vaccine priority list.”
