the coming days.
“The worst is yet to
come, and it is pushing our capacities to the limit,” he had said.
“We have yet to
receive the impact of the strongest, most damaging wave, which will test our
material and moral capacities to the limit, as well as our spirit as a
society.”
He had also said his
government was working on plans to produce the equipment needed to battle
coronavirus and that testing would be increased across the country.
As a measure to stop
the spread, the government declared a 15-day state of emergency nationwide
barring people from leaving their homes but for exigent reasons.
