The frenetic global race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine has raised concern that speed and national prestige could compromise safety.

Russia expects regulatory approval for a potential COVID-19 vaccine this month and is ready to provide it to the Philippines, or team up with a local firm to mass produce it.

He this month restored a strict lockdown in and around the capital Manila for an initial two weeks, heeding the plea of medical frontliners for a"timeout" amid a surge in infections during a period when restrictions were eased.
