BIDA ang solusyon sa COVID-19: B-awal ang walang mask. Always use mask when physically interacting with people; I-sanitize ang mga kamay, iwas hawak sa mga bagay; D-umistansya ng isang metro, always observe physical distance; and A-lamin ang tamang impormasyon. Follow health advisories and listen to credible sources.
Together we can beat COVID-19! Padayon an paglaom!
