INQUIRER.net FILE PHOTO MANILA, Philippines — Individuals stricken with COVID-19 do not need to show a negative test result and medical clearance to return to work or school so long as they have observed the isolation period and no longer show symptoms. The Department of Health (DOH) shortened the isolation period for COVID-19 patients under the new protocols issued after the lifting of the state of public health emergency last July 21. Asymptomatic COVID-positive individuals can end isolation after five days, while mildly ill COVID-19 patients or individuals with acute respiratory symptoms can end isolation after five days or if fever-free for at least 24 hours with improved respiratory symptoms, whichever is earlier.

São Tomé and Príncipe, once the biggest producer of chocolate in the world, is revitalising its chocolate trade. It took me less than half an hour at Claudio Corallo 's chocolate factory in the sultry capital of São Tomé and Príncipe to realise that everything I'd ever known about chocolate was wrong. The 72-year-old Italian led me through a series of his creations, delicately carving slivers of chocolate onto a board and waiting for me to taste each one. As I slipped them onto my tongue, he watched me, head slightly cocked to one side, eyes twinkling through his glasses, waiting for the reaction he knew was coming.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) has shown good moves since it started its budget hearings last April 11. These should be pursued and built upon. At one of the hearings, the idea that the consumer should be served at all costs but at the expense of a balanced view advocating both consumer welfare and agriculture development was rejected. Imports are desirable when there is a supply gap, but not encouraged when an oversupply of unfairly cheap imports grabs the share and jobs of local production that can otherwise fulfill demand.
