HEALTH experts said that while the World Health Organization has declared that Covid-19 is no longer a global health emergency, Filipinos must remain vigilant against the disease.

'Yesterday, the Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice. It is therefore with great hope that I declare Covid-19 over as a global health emergency,' WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebyeresus said on Friday.
