 DAY 3

 Reading of the News Article

Learners are to read the article silently.

 NEWS ARTICLE: April 24, 2020

Global leaders unite to ensure everyone everywhere can access new

vaccines, tests and treatments for COVID-19
(24 April 2020/ News release)

Unprecedented gathering of heads of government, institutions and industry

cements commitment to accelerate development and delivery for all
populations

Heads of state and global health leaders today made an unprecedented commitment to
work together to accelerate the development and production of new vaccines, tests and
treatments for COVID-19 and assure equitable access worldwide.

The COVID-19 pandemic has already affected more than 2.4 million people, killing over
160,000. It is taking a huge toll on families, societies, health systems and economies around
the world, and for as long as this virus threatens any country, the entire world is at risk. 

There is an urgent need, therefore, while following existing measures to keep people
physically distanced and to test and track all contacts of people who test positive, for
innovative COVID-19 vaccines, diagnostics and treatments.

“We will only halt COVID-19 through solidarity,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Countries, health partners, manufacturers, and the
private sector must act together and ensure that the fruits of science and research can benefit
everybody.”

Work has already started. Since January, WHO has been working with researchers
from hundreds of institutions to develop and test vaccines, standardize assays and
standardize regulatory approaches on innovative trial designs and define criteria to prioritize
vaccine candidates.  The Organization has prequalified diagnostics that are being used all
over the world, and more are in the pipeline. And it is coordinating a global trial to assess the
safety and efficacy of four therapeutics against COVID-19.

The challenge is to speed up and harmonize processes to ensure that once products
are deemed safe and effective, they can be brought to the billions of people in the world who
need them. Past experience, in the early days of HIV treatment, for example, and in the
deployment of vaccines against the H1N1 outbreak in 2009, shows that even when tools are
available, they have not been equally available to all.

So today leaders came together at a virtual event, co-hosted by the World Health
Organization, the President of France, the President of the European Commission, and the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The event was joined by the UN Secretary General, the AU
Commission Chairperson, the G20 President, heads of state of France, South Africa,
Germany, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Italy, Rwanda, Norway, Spain, Malaysia and the UK
(represented by the First Secretary of State).

Health leaders from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI),
GAVI-the Vaccine Alliance, the Global Fund, UNITAID, the Wellcome Trust, the International
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (IFRC), the International Federation of
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers (IFPMA), the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers’
Network (DCVMN), and the International Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Association
(IGBA) committed to come together, guided by a common vision of a planet protected from
human suffering and the devastating social and economic consequences of COVID-19, to
launch this groundbreaking collaboration. They are joined by two Special Envoys:  Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, Gavi Board Chair and Sir Andrew Witty, former CEO of GlaxoSmithKline.

They pledged to work towards equitable global access based on an unprecedented

level of partnership. They agreed to create a strong unified voice, to build on past experience
and to be accountable to the world, to communities and to one another.

“Our shared commitment is to ensure all people have access to all the tools to prevent,
detect, treat and defeat COVID-19,” said Dr Tedros. “No country and no organization can do
this alone. The Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator brings together the combined power of
several organizations to work with speed and scale.”

Health leaders called on the global community and political leaders to support
this landmark collaboration and for donors to provide the necessary resources to
accelerate achievement of its objectives, capitalizing on the opportunity provided by a
forthcoming pledging initiative that starts on 4 May 2020. This initiative, spearheaded
by the European Union, aims to mobilize the significant resources needed to
accelerate the work towards protecting the world from COVID-19.

April 14, 2020 (by Ernie B. Esconde)

PILAR, Bataan: The Mount Samat Flagship Tourism Enterprise

Zone (FTEZ) and the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office in coordination
with OGV Lights and Sounds held a one-hour show on Sunday
evening at the giant War Memorial Cross at the Mount Samat Shrine
in this historic town to pay the tribute to frontliners in the war against
coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-2019).

Carissa Bautista, Mount Samat FTEZ information officer, said the

event “Salute of Lights for Frontliners: We Light as One,

We Heal as One,” which marked the Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of

Valor), was an initiative of the lights and sound industry of the country
to call for solidarity amid the human crisis the whole world was facing.”
 Lights and sounds owners nationwide simultaneously illuminated
the sky from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. OGV Lights and Sounds held the event
at the 92-meter high cross to make it more visible in Bataan and the
frontliners.

“With the Salute of Lights, we give thanks to our present-day

heroes – those who are risking their lives to fight against this dreaded
disease with utmost courage and valor that match that of our
forefathers,” Mount Samat FTEZ Administrator Francis Theodore
Initorio said.

“As we salute them, we must ensure that their efforts and

sacrifices will not be in vain by doing our part, slowing down the
spread of the infection, flattening the curve,” the administrator added.

Lockdown in Philippines extended to April 30

April 7, 2020 (Mainichi Japan)

MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- The Philippine president has extended by half

a month to April 30 a lockdown that requires millions of people in the country's
main northern region to stay home amid the coronavirus outbreak.

President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday in a late-night TV speech that the

government was desperately looking for more funds for a massive cash and
food aid intended to prevent the poor from starving to death. There have been
appeals for middle-class families to be given emergency aid too, he said.

"If there's nothing to eat, a human being can be violent especially if he

sees his children without food and he's driven to tears," Duterte said, adding he
has ordered the finance secretary to "steal, borrow, I don't care," just to produce
more emergency funds.

The government has targeted 18 million low-income families for economic

rescue under the lockdown with a 275-billion-peso ($5 billion) budget in the next
two months.

Interior Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya told foreign correspondents

Monday 16.3 billion pesos ($320 million) have been distributed so far.

Duterte demanded that the aid be given more rapidly amid complaints of
delays and confusion over who should get it.
 The Philippines has reported 3,660 cases of COVID-19 disease, including
163 deaths.
