Event Details
The Philippines was surprised by a sudden surge of COVID-19 cases in March and April. Because of this, stricter lockdown measures were re-implemented to curtail the increase of cases--over 1 million and counting. But with community quarantine, some businesses had to temporarily close, thus affecting the economic well-being of many Filipinos.
Where might the situation go, pandemic-wise, in the coming months? With foresight provided through epidemiological data and the promise of vaccine arrival in the second half of the year, we might be able to determine with more clarity the path forward.
