In the battle against COVID-19, the patients are not the only ones at risk. Thousands of caregivers and medical staff, also referred to as frontliners, lay their lives on the line to fight coronavirus. In doing so, they are also in constant contact with the infected patients, which makes them extremely vulnerable to the virus in spite of the protective gear.

Thousands of medical staff all over the world have passed away due to COVID-19. Hundreds more are still fighting for their lives, and among them is this young doctor from Quezon City. Dra. Carmina Fuentebella has spent almost two weeks in the emergency room as she battles with this highly-communicable disease.
