Access to health services: Many respondents are avoiding public health
services due to the misconception that common flu symptoms will be
diagnosed as Covid-19 and require quarantine in a facility. Testing is also
prohibitively expensive and not covered by the country’s universal health
insurance. There is also a stigma associated with contracting the virus. Two
households revealed that they did not consult a doctor for possible Covid-19
symptoms and one interviewee continued going to work despite symptoms.
“My wife, two children, and I experienced flu symptoms – fever, cough and colds –
including loss of smell and taste one after the other. We were afraid of going to the doctor
because people say that even high blood pressure is diagnosed as Covid-19.
We just took paracetamol and ate chilli. I even continued going to work. Workers in the
workplaces I inspected reported experiencing the same symptoms.”
Male respondent, Bicol region
“We are scared of getting Covid-19 because once you get to the doctor, they will
diagnose you with it at once.” Female Respondent, Bicol region |
