Pasig City’s COVID-19 Response
Oftentimes, complex problems only require simple solutions.
When Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 first hit the country, Pasig was among the cities that recorded the highest number of infected individuals. To address this, Mayor Vico Sotto and the city government transformed the Pasig City Children’s Hospital into a COVID-19 facility and beef up the local health system to increase efficiency, reduce risk of contamination between COVID and non-COVID cases, and control, if not reduce the number of positive cases.

Covid-19 will be with us for some time. We have no option but to live with the virus while vaccine is not yet available. But what should you do if you are not sick and if you feel sick? Below are some suggestions.
If you feel good and not sick:
- Do PEACESM everyday. PEACESM means Pray, Exercise, Appreciate, Create, Eat right, Serve, Meditate.

- Keep distance physically but stay connected.
