Just as the Philippines lacks the resources and infrastructure to match South Korea's COVID-19 response, regions outside of NCR likewise do not have the resources to replicate the proposed ambition of mass testing in the capital region. Given inherent disparities in how resources are distributed, countries should not be treated homogenously when designing national response strategies.
