Alert level system will remain – Palace

THE government's pandemic task force does not see the scrapping of the alert level system anytime soon, Cabinet Secretary and Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases Co-chairman Karlo Alexei Nograles said.

"Health experts will tell you that we hope the Delta variant would be the last variant of concern that's deadly, and hopefully, the next mutations will go the way of Omicron — meaning to say more transmissible, less fatal for the fully vaccinated," the Palace official said in an interview with ANC's Headstart.
