With the almost 500,000 recorded Covid-19 cases to date, I do not know wherefrom the honorable spokesperson got his enthusiasm to announce the good news! Baka makuryente si Ginoong Roque sa sinabi. Ha ha.
The Department of Health, meanwhile, said that it will be able to determine in mid-January if there was a surge in Covid-19 cases during the holidays.
