Even before the COVID-19 pandemic became a major issue here in the Philippines, people already felt the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) here in the country.
Now that it’s here, the government, since March 17, 2020 has put into place an enhanced community quarantine effective on the entirety of Luzon. Even other local government units in Mindanao and Visayas have been doing the same. Due to its strict implementation, the transport of goods has slowed down. This has resulted in the continuing scarcity of PPE, especially surgical masks.
