00:00Be careful of clicking and sharing online. This is the announcement of the Department of Health after they spread the fake news that there is a new epidemic in China.
00:13This is Jonathan Nandal.
00:18There's really nothing. It's fake news.
00:22The Department of Health and the Chinese Embassy themselves are saying that the fake news is spreading that there is a new epidemic in China that is spreading to their hospitals.
00:33The community note also said that there is no basis for this.
00:37Officially, we also received a communication from the World Health Organization.
00:41The countries are obligated to tell their fellow countries if they are infected, so to speak.
00:48There's nothing. Zero.
00:49If there is a real news that is sick and different, we will be the first to say it.
00:54A Filipino who lives in Wuhan, China said that there are people who are being blamed for being infected because it's winter there.
01:01But unlike what the post is spreading, there is no declaration of a state of emergency.
01:07Actually, we are going out normally. There are no masks.
01:11No matter where you go, there is no panic.
01:16There is no news coming out here in China that we need to be careful about such diseases.
01:27It also happens that this is the time of winter.
01:32In this case, the number of respiratory illnesses is really increasing.
01:36In Tagalog, malatrang kasong sakit, influenza-like illness.
01:39It's natural every year.
01:41According to the Reuters report, the number of respiratory diseases in China has increased from December 16 to 22.
01:47These are not new diseases.
01:49And among the latest cases detected there are viruses that are already common in the Philippines and are easy to fight against the resistance.
01:56It's not new. That virus is from 2001.
02:00And like many respiratory viruses, it doesn't have a vaccine. That's true.
02:05It doesn't have a medicine. That's also true.
02:07But it's mild.
02:09In other words, it can fight a person who has a strong resistance.
02:14The World Health Organization said that there is still COVID-19.
02:18That's why they continue to call on China to give them access to data to better understand the origin of COVID-19.
02:25In response to China, they are distributing data and results of their studies on COVID-19 to the international community.
02:32But why is it that the fear and concern of some Filipinos when they read the viral post?
02:38DOH said that it is possible that it is the result of PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the COVID pandemic.
02:45Let's just have a little reminder or warning that this is it.
02:50Will our anxiety increase again?
02:54So for our fellow Filipinos who click, click, share, share.
02:58Check first where it came from.
03:01For GMA Integrated News, I am Jonathan Andan, your witness.
03:07My fellow Filipinos, be the first witness.
