We also have to protect our team’s families and ourselves. We hope our kababayans will understand this.

And so today we give way to “investing in health information” to spread awareness to our OFW’s based in the Middle East and Europe where the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (MERS-COV) has infected and killed a few but have terrified millions of people in these regions.

What is MERS? What are the symptoms if one has been infected by this new Corona virus? How do we protect ourselves and our loved ones from being infected? Continue reading Avoid the Corona Virus (MERS-COV) – Infographic
