As of March 25, 4:00 p.m., the Department of Health reports that there are already 636 confirmed cases of the Coronavirus Disease in the Philippines.

However, there have also been a total of 26 COVID-19 patients that recovered.

The elderly and individuals with compromised immune system are among the people who are most likely to have a hard time recovering from COVID-19.

That's why it's very uplifting to hear news that our doctors and nurses have successfully helped Filipino elders infected with COVID-19 recover from the dreaded disease.

Netizens have congratulated Dr. Joseph and his team, and expressed their gratitude to all Filipino frontliners.
