MANILA, Philippines – As COVID-19 cases continue to soar in the Philippines, the need for widespread and quick testing becomes more necessary.
Some Philippine hospitals and local governments have already set up drive-through facilities. More than providing faster service, drive-throughs are considered safer because there is less face-to-face contact.
Rappler compiles where these facilities are now available:
