AN infectious disease expert agrees with the observation of the Department of Health (DoH) that the Philippines is ready in case the World Health Organization (WHO) lifts the State of Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

The WHO's emergency committee is set to meet on January 27 to decide whether to lift or extend the declaration, which was announced in 2020 due to the increasing spread of Covid-19 infections globally.
