In an advisory, the agency also called on the public to observe a “safe and healthy” Holy Week.
“As Filipinos prepare for travel, religious activities, and family gatherings, the DOH emphasizes the importance of prioritizing health and safety to ensure a peaceful and meaningful week for all,” it added.
DOH chief Teodoro Herbosa advised the public and motorists to stay alert when traveling.
“And because of the extreme heat, we should also be careful about its effects on the body. Heat stroke can be avoided by always drinking water,” he said.
“We encourage everyone to observe the Holy Week responsibly. Go to DOH hospitals that are continuously on standby and will provide healthcare services to those who need them this coming Holy Week,” he added.
