Meanwhile, Angel Locsin, a previous “Darna” star, also chose to assist those at the frontlines of the fight against the disease by calling for donations of foldable beds. She plans to help create sleeping areas for the health workers at hospitals so they would not have to travel to work every day during the crisis, due to the government ban on public transportation.

The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, as of this writing, has reached 380. The Department of Health stated that among those patients, 15 have already recovered from the disease. JB
