Keeping yourself safe during pandemic

The coronavirus remains a serious public health threat. Viruses are constantly evolving, and new versions appear. The Delta variant is now the most common coronavirus strain in the Philippines.
 

You should be aware of the following:

​

• The Delta variant is more contagious, causes more infections, and spreads faster than the original virus.

• In unvaccinated people, the Delta strain may cause more severe illness than previous strains.

• Despite the fact that vaccines provide strong protection against severe disease and death, fully vaccinated people can become infected with and spread the Delta variant.

​

That is why it is critical to get your vaccine and assist your loved ones in getting theirs as well. Vaccines will protect you from the coronavirus and its Delta variant, which can cause severe illness and death. Wear a mask indoors in public places after you have been fully vaccinated. To increase your protection, get a vaccine booster shot as soon as it is recommended.
