MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): The government is targeting next week for the completion of a “very comprehensive” Covid-19 transition plan, according to Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.

“This is something we would launch as soon as all the inputs from the different sectors have been submitted. This is really a very comprehensive map on shifting to the new normal,” Duque said on Wednesday in a television interview.
