Philippine COVID-19 Living Clinical Practice Guidelines Phase 3

The Unified COVID-19 Algorithms are based primarily on the latest Philippine COVID-19 Living
Clinical Practice Guidelines as well as other relevant guidelines and circulars. As such, the
recommendations will be constantly updated, and new recommendations will be added as the
evidence evolves. The recommendations are based on the best evidence available in scientific
literature at the time of its formulation. The unified algorithms and the living recommendations
are not comprehensive guides to all practice questions and management options on COVID-19.
The algorithms and guidelines are not meant to restrict the practitioner in using sound clinical
judgement and sharing the decision with the patient, and from considering other management
options according to the patient's particular needs and preferences. The said algorithms and
guidelines can also serve to inform policy, but they are not meant to serve as basis for approving
or denying financial coverage or insurance claims merely because of nonconformance with
recommendations. Neither are the recommendations intended to be considered as legal rules
for dictating certain modes of action to the exclusion of others.
