Ayon kay Presidential Spokesperson at chief legal counsel Secretary Salvador Panelo, wala daw “sense” para itago sa publiko ang bilang ng mga nasasawi.
“An allegation from a media broadcaster that the government, through the Department of Health (DOH), has ordered a certain hospital in Metro Manila to stop counting the number of deaths caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has, like any false news, spread…. Such allegation against the government is absolutely bereft of logic as well as of common sense. What would the government get from concealing the actual number of deaths due to COVID-19? The government is precisely interested in knowing the number of deaths so that we will know the status of our fight against the coronavirus and we can undertake measures to improve our health system. Obviously, it’s false news,” sabi ng tagapagsalita ng Presidente.
Magugunitang binutata din ni Health Secretary Francisco Duque III at ng East Avenue Medical Center ang mga alegasyon ni Clavio.
Umalma din si Cabinet Secretary at Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) spokesperson Karlo Nograles sa mga bintang. Pinaalalahanan din ni Nograles ang taumbayan na maging maingat sa mga balita o chismis na pinakakalat sa social media.
“Another report we wish to respond to involves allegations that the government has given directives to suppress information regarding COVID-19 fatalities. Sa madaling salita, hindi po ito totoo. Naglabas po ng pahayag ang Department of Health na wala po silang ganitong utos sa ating mga ospital. Wala pong ganitong polisiya ang inyong pamahalaan… As you all know, various government functionaries regularly appear on media to give updates on the different actions being taken in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Tuloy-tuloy po ang pagbibigay ng balita ukol sa COVID-19 response dahil alam po namin na mahalaga po ito para sa inyo. This outbreak concerns all of us, so we recognize that it is our responsibility to give you the facts, all the facts, and nothing but the facts. You deserve nothing less… Kaya po, uulitin po namin na mag-ingat po tayo sa mga balita o chismis na fino-forward at pino-post. Our efforts to contain the COVID-19 outbreak must be complemented by our efforts to contain misinformation and disinformation. Lalo na pagdating sa mga balita involving our health, about possible remedies for the diseases and similar unsubstantiated claims,” ani Nograles.
