Ayon kay DOH Secretary Duque sa isang interview ng ABS-CBN:
“Avoid shaking of hands this time,” said Health Secretary Francisco Duque in a press conference in Malacanang. “At the most, fist bump,” he said in jest.
Duque said the traditional “beso-beso” or bussing of cheeks should also be avoided for now as the DOH is looking into possible cases of the novel coronavirus in the country.
Dagdag pa ni Secretary na kapag bumabahing o uubo ay ugaliing takpan ang bibig para maiwasan ang pagkalat nito at yung mga may sakit ay manatili na lamang sa mga bahay nila.
Sabi din nya na bawal daw kumain muna ng mga hindi masyadong nalutong pagkain, hindi dapat half-cooked o kulay pink yung karne.
Dahil ang mga coronavirus daw ay nanggaling sa mga hayop tulad ng kaso sa Middle East ang (MERS-COV) at SARS. Dahil ang novel coronavirus ay hinihinalaang naggaling sa ahas at paniki at iba pang exotic food na binebenta sa live market sa China.
Paala pa ni Sec.:
RAW MEAT
“Rule number one: Never eat raw meat,” Duque said. “A lot of illnesses start with animals or zoonotic transmission.”
“Yang mga kilawin, tigil na muna natin yan. Maraming mikrobyo kasi yang mga yan,” he added.
(We should stop eating raw dishes. There are a lot of microbes there.)
Asked if people should also avoid delicacies such as sashimi (fresh raw fish or meat), Duque said that is alright, provided they are from established restaurants that "have a reputation of being sanitary.”
He said that while bats are not being eaten in the Philippines, some eat snakes, rats and lizards.
“You just need to cook it well since coronaviruses are sensitive to heat. If you cook it at 53 degrees centigrade, they will be neutralized,” he said.
