Forty-five workers were killed, four injured or ill, in six* serious work incidents in the Philippines in January-June 2020, an NTUC Philippines compilation of media reports show.

One incident in agriculture, another in a mill warehouse, one in a construction area, one construction worker on the way to work, one quarantine incident, one medevac airplane incident.

Twenty-four doctors [26], 3 [4] nurses and 6 [2] non-medical staff died working in different hospitals fighting CoVid-19. (Those in brackets are figures in May 2020. DOH issues summaries of numbers, probably correcting for duplication, etc. as it does for national numbers.)

A PNP doctor died and two other officers from the national police medical reserve force were hospitallzed after inhaling a disinfectant solution used to clean quarantine facilities in Metro Manila. (June 7, 2020 report)

Three crew, three medical personnel died in the medevac airplane incident in March.
