Introduction
This research paper was conducted to give insight on the current situation of the Philippines
during this pandemic. The pandemic reached the country within the second month of the year 2020, the
infection of this disease was slow thus there weren’t many precautions made by the public and the
government as well. During the start of this pandemic, the Taal volcano had recently erupted causing
severe ashfall in places near the country’s capital which resulted in limited stocks of masks and personal
protection equipment available to the public and became a factor in the spread of the virus in the
country. When the severity of this pandemic was known to the world, several citizens were already
infected without knowing it and continued to spread the virus to the public.

DATA CHART 1
DATA CHART 1 shows the daily updates of cases in the Philippines from the start of the
Enhanced Community Quarantine sanctioned at the dawn of March 15, 2020. The highest number of
cases recorded in a day was 538 cases on March 31, 2020. The mortality cases per day was also
recorded, showing that the highest number was 50 mortalities on April 12, 2020.
The data might not be as accurate as the real-time infections because of the delay in the results
of the tests. The parameters of being tested also affects the data since the government only tests people
with visible symptoms and with known contact with an infected Covid19 patient. Most infected people
show symptoms but there are also cases wherein infected people are asymptomatic, which means they
don’t show any symptoms at all. Without symptoms, a person wouldn’t know if he/she has been
infected thus having no reason to be tested.

Conclusion
With the recent data gathered involving Covid19, it would take time for the spread of the virus
to decrease, it would take a longer time for the infections to halt and the virus to cease. Even with a
cure for the virus, it would take time for it to be distributed to the infected since there are 3,008,196
