Prelate advises believers not to acquire medications in a panic.

On Monday, a representative of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) urged people not to buy necessary drugs in bulk if they do not require them.

“Let us not be avaricious when buying drugs.” If you don’t require it, don’t purchase it. In an interview with Church-run Radio Veritas, Bishop Oscar Jaime Florencio, head of the CBCP Ministry on Health, remarked, “We are not the only ones who wish to live.”

This came after reports of a paracetamol and other flu medicines shortage in pharmacies, particularly in Metro Manila, due to a spike in coronavirus infections.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) announced last week that paracetamol and other flu treatments supplies in drug stores will begin to normalize over the weekend.

The bishop went on to say that the rise in coronavirus instances is an encouragement to individuals who have not yet been inoculated to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as a preventative measure against the virus’s harmful consequences.

‘I believe it is a method of vaccination.’ “Since we already have the vaccination, let us reassure those who have not received it that it is safe,” he said.

Florencio went on to say that the Church has long advocated for vaccination as a second line of defense against sickness.

Despite the rapid increase of Covid-19 infections, he urged the public to remain calm.

The CBCP official urged the people to stick to the healthy routine and pray for the sick’s strength and recovery.

On Monday, the Philippines set a new single-day record with 33,169 new coronavirus infections.

A total of 2,998,530 infections have been confirmed in the country, with 2,788,711 recoveries, 157,526 active cases, and 52,293 fatalities.
