 DECODE

1. Do you think people are one of the main reasons for the reemergence of
some infectious diseases.explain your answer.​
yes, because With more people living in dense conditions, there is more frequent
contact between more individuals, allowing disease transmission to easily occur. like
Migration and global travel – As it becomes more common for people to travel
throughout the world, it also becomes easier for diseases to travel with them.

1. Are the efforts of DOH enough to protect Filipinos from these diseases?
Justify your answer.
yes, Because their doing their best just to protect us from the virus. But, the other
filipinos aren't follow the rules and regulations from DOH so the virus and diseases
wont stop growing. The major mandate of DOH is to provide national policy direction
and develop national plans, technical standards and guidelines on health. It is
responsible for ensuring access to basic public health services to all Filipinos through
the provision of quality health care and regulation of providers of health goods and
services.
