BAGUIO CITY — The Department of Health in the Cordillera Administrative Region reminded the public to boost their immune system due to the cold weather here.

DoH-CAR senior health program officer Victoria Malicdan also urged the public to adopt the same protective measure practiced at the height of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic for added health protection.

"You have to mask up especially if you are not feeling well, especially the youth, the immunocompromised like those suffering from diabetes, hypertension, heart ailment," Malicdan said.

She added that when going to crowded places — which is unavoidable — alcohol will come in handy as a protection from possible infection.
